Solution-phase synthesis of chromium-functionalized singlewalled carbon nanotubes
 
Subject : physics 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : The solution phase reactions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with Cr(CO)(6) and benzene- Cr (CO)(3) can lead to the formation of small chromium clusters. The cluster size can be varied from less than 1 nm to about 4 nm by increasing the reaction time. TEM images suggest that the clusters are deposited predominantly on the exterior walls of the nanotubes. TGA analysis was used to obtain the Cr content and carbon to chromium ratio in the Cr-complexed SWNTs. It is suggested that the carbon nanotube benzenoid structure templates the condensation of chromium atoms and facilitates the loss of carbon monoxide leading to well defined metal clusters.
