Doping Modification of Carbon Nanotubes and its Applications

Abstract

Buckytubes, a different term for carbon nanotubes, are quantum materials in one dimension that have a distinct structure. As one-dimensional nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes exhibit unusually broad mechanical, chemical and electrical capabilities in addition to their light weight and flawless hexagonal structural connectivity. Good mechanical capabilities, electrical conductivity, great chemical stability, a vast surface area, and a distinctive one-dimensional structure are all characteristics of carbon nanotubes. Doping is typically used to describe the small-scale addition of other elements or compounds to a material or matrix in order to enhance the performance of a certain substance or material in the chemical industry, materials, and other industries. A material or substrate can produce unique electrical, magnetic, and optical properties through doping. The abilities of the carbon nanotubes can be modified in a variety of ways by the addition of a trace amount of certain impurities. After doping in it, it can show many excellent properties, and can be widely used in various fields. In this work, doping modification of carbon nanotubes and its applications were studied.
