Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Localized modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with aryl functional groups (Ar doping), providing the optical property-enhanced SWNTs with unique dependence on the substituent groups. In this study, we examined the electronic states of the Ar-doped SWNTs and the substituent effect of aryl functionalization through the in situ PL spectroelectrochemical method that we developed previously. We evaluated energy levels of the pristine and the Ar-doped SWNTs modified with three different substituents, in which the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the Ar-doped SWNTs were found to shift to negative and positive values, respectively, compared to those of the pristine SWNTs. Interestingly, we clarified that the HOMO of the Ar-doped SWNTs showed dependence of the chemical structure of the aryl substituent groups. We revealed a possible mechanism for the energy level shifting on the Ar-doping.
