Azide modification forming luminescent sp2 defects on single-walled carbon nanotubes for near-infrared defect photoluminescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Oct 11;58(81):11422-11425. doi: 10.1039/d2cc04492g.

Abstract

Azide functionalization produced luminescent sp2-type defects on single-walled carbon nanotubes, by which defect photoluminescence appeared in near infrared regions (1116 nm). Changes in exciton properties were induced by localization effects at the defect sites, creating exciton-engineered nanomaterials based on the defect structure design.
