Electron Storage in Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes. Fermi Level Equilibration in Semiconductor–SWCNT Suspensions

Open access

Abstract

The use of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as conduits for transporting electrons in a photoelectrochemical solar cell and electronic devices requires better understanding of their electron-accepting properties. When in contact with photoirradiated TiO(2) nanoparticles, SWCNTs accept and store electrons. The Fermi level equilibration with photoirradiated TiO(2) particles indicates storage of up to 1 electron per 32 carbon atoms in the SWCNT. The stored electrons are readily discharged on demand upon addition of electron acceptors such as thiazine and oxazine dyes (reduction potential less negative than that of the SWCNT conduction band) to the TiO(2)-SWCNT suspension. The stepwise electron transfer from photoirradiated TiO(2) nanoparticles --> SWCNT --> redox couple has enabled us to probe the electron equilibration process and determine the apparent Fermi level of the TiO(2)-SWCNT system. A positive shift in apparent Fermi level (20-30 mV) indicates the ability of SWCNTs to undergo charge equilibration with photoirradiated TiO(2) particles. The dependence of discharge capacity on the reduction potential of the dye redox couple is compared for TiO(2) and TiO(2)-SWCNT systems under equilibration conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
