Semiconducting carbon nanotubes in photovoltaic blends: The case of pTB7:PC <sub/>60</sub> BM:(6,5) SWNT
摘要： Blends of carbon nanotubes with conjugated polymer and fullerene derivatives are complex nanocomposite systems, which have recently attracted great research interest for their photovoltaic ability. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of the excitonic dynamics in such materials can be important to boost the efficiency of excitonic solar cells. Here, we studied the photophysics of a ternary system in which the polymer PTB7 and the fullerene derivative PCBM are integrated with (6,5) single walled carbon nanotubes. We highlight the contribution of SWNTs in the exciton dissociation and in the charge transfer process. These findings can be useful for the exploitation of these multi-component systems for organic photovoltaic and, in general, optoelectronic applications.

Carbon nanotubes assisting interchain charge transport in semiconducting polymer thin films towards much improved charge carrier mobility; 碳纳米管辅助共轭聚合物薄膜链间载流子传输以提高迁移率;
摘要： Conjugated polymers attracted much attention in the past few decades due to their wide applications in various optoelectronic devices and circuits. The charge transport process in conjugated polymers mainly occurs in the intrachain and interchain parts, where the interchain charge transport is generally slower than intrachain transport and may slow down the whole charge transport properties. Aiming at this issue, herein we employ semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) as efficient charge-transporting jointing channels between conjugated polymer chains for improving the charge transport performance. Taking the typical conjugated polymer, ploy-N-alkyl-diketopyrrolo-pyrrole-dithienylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene (PDPP-TT) as an example, polymer thin film transistors (PTFTs) based on the optimized blended films of PDPP-TT/s-SWNTs exhibit an obviously increasing device performance compared with the devices based on pure PDPP-TT films, with the hole and electron mobility increased from 2.32 to 12.32 cm2 V?1 s?1 and from 2.02 to 5.77 cm2 V?1 s?1, respectively. This result suggests the importance of forming continuous conducting channels in conjugated polymer thin films, which can also be extended to other polymeric electronic and optoelectronic devices to promote their potential applications in large-area, low-cost and high performance polymeric electronic devices and circuits.

Non-covalent Methods of Engineering Optical Sensors Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： Optical sensors based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) demonstrate tradeoffs that limit their use in in vivo and in vitro environments. Sensor characteristics are primarily governed by the non-covalent wrapping used to suspend the hydrophobic SWCNTs in aqueous solutions, and we herein review the advantages and disadvantages of several of these different wrappings. Sensors based on surfactant wrappings can show enhanced quantum efficiency, high stability, scalability, and diminished selectivity. Conversely, sensors based on synthetic and bio-polymer wrappings tend to show lower quantum efficiency, stability, and scalability, while demonstrating improved selectivity. Major efforts have focused on optimizing sensors based on DNA wrappings, which have intermediate properties that can be improved through synthetic modifications. Although SWCNT sensors have, to date, been mainly engineered using empirical approaches, herein we highlight alternative techniques based on iterative screening that offer a more guided approach to tuning sensor properties. These more rational techniques can yield new combinations that incorporate the advantages of the diverse nanotube wrappings available to create high performance optical sensors.

Self-assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes arrays with different line width
摘要： Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are one of the most promising nanoelectronic materials, However, there are still some application challenges, including purification, regular arrangement, interconnection, and so on. There is evidence that the array assembly can improve the performance of SWNTs. In this work, we develop a line-width controllable large-scale assembly of SWNTs based on aqueous solution, using electron beam (E-beam) lithography to construct self-assembled templates. The results show that SWNTs arrays of different line-width are obtained, which is possible to design the structure of SWNTs assembly to meet different functions.
