Host-Guest Molecular Interaction Enabled Separation of Large-Diameter Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Xusheng Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, a host-guest molecular interaction strategy was introduced for selectively extracting semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) of expected diameters by filling polyoxometalate clusters of specific size in the inner cavities of SWCNTs. The sorted s-SWCNTs with diameters concentrated at around 1.3-1.4 nm showed typical semiconductor behavior in field-effect transistors. The sorting mechanism involving size-dependent electron transfer from nanotubes to inner polyoxometalate was revealed through spectroscopic and electron microscopic evidence, as well as theoretical calculations, demonstrating the flexibility in tuning the diameter of sorted s-SWCNTs.
