Directing single-walled carbon nanotubes to self-assemble at water/oil interfaces and facilitate electron transfer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Sep 28:(36):4273-5. doi: 10.1039/b805789c. Epub 2008 Jul 17.

Abstract

Both the behavior and the general key factors for assembling flexible SWNT films at the water/oil interface were investigated; the electron transfer, one of the most fundamental chemical processes, at the SWNT-sandwiched water/oil interface was also firstly illustrated using scanning electrochemical microscopy.
