Functional Hybrids of Carbon Nanotubes.

In this 5-year ZAPBOF project, I will investigate different functionalization routes for SWCNTs to enhance and diversify their opto-electronic properties. In particular I will aim at enhancing the SWCNT emission efficiency, by promoting triplet exciton emission, and at studying their interaction with long-lived radicals, combining optical spectroscopy with paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Finally, I will invest in the itneraction of SWCNTs with other one-dimensional layers, in so-called 1D heteronanotubes.
