Influence of local strain caused by cycloaddition on the band gap control of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes.

ABSTRACT: Fine control of the band gap of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been achieved by the functionalization with dibromoalkanes, namely, 1,3-dibromopropane (1a), 1,4-dibromobutane (1b), 1,5-dibromopentane (1c), and 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene (1d). Red-shifted photoluminescence (PL) peaks observed at 1215-1242 nm were assigned to the local band gaps of the chemically functionalized SWNTs 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations for 2a-2d suggest that "local strain" induced by cycloaddition plays an important role in tuning the local band gap energies of functionalized SWNTs.

Project description:Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been used extensively for sensor fabrication due to its high surface to volume ratio, nanosized structure and interesting electronic property. Lack of selectivity is a major limitation for SWNTs-based sensors. However, surface modification of SWNTs with a suitable molecular recognition system can enhance the sensitivity. On the other hand, porphyrins have been widely investigated as functional materials for chemical sensor fabrication due to their several unique and interesting physico-chemical properties. Structural differences between free-base and metal substituted porphyrins make them suitable for improving selectivity of sensors. However, their poor conductivity is an impediment in fabrication of prophyrin-based chemiresistor sensors. The present attempt is to resolve these issues by combining freebase- and metallo-porphyrins with SWNTs to fabricate SWNTs-porphyrin hybrid chemiresistor sensor arrays for monitoring volatile organic carbons (VOCs) in air. Differences in sensing performance were noticed for porphyrin with different functional group and with different central metal atom. The mechanistic study for acetone sensing was done using field-effect transistor (FET) measurements and revealed that the sensing mechanism of ruthenium octaethyl porphyrin hybrid device was governed by electrostatic gating effect, whereas iron tetraphenyl porphyrin hybrid device was governed by electrostatic gating and Schottky barrier modulation in combination. Further, the recorded electronic responses for all hybrid sensors were analyzed using a pattern-recognition analysis tool. The pattern-recognition analysis confirmed a definite pattern in response for different hybrid material and could efficiently differentiate analytes from one another. This discriminating capability of the hybrid nanosensor devices open up the possibilities for further development of highly dense nanosensor array with suitable porphyrin for E-nose application.
