This review discusses the phemenology of filling, kinetics investigation, and electronic properties for applications of filled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). It summarizes five main achievements obtained in processing spectroscopic data of SWCNTs filled with various substances. The review highlights the development of methods for processing kinetic data, the metal-dependence of kinetics, the investigation of the electronic properties of metallicity-sorted SWCNTs, the development of new approaches to processing spectroscopic data, and the elucidation of the correlation between the properties of encapsulated substances and the electronic properties of SWCNTs.
This review discusses the phemenology of filling, the investigation of kinetics, and the electronic properties for applications of filled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and summarizes five main achievements that were obtained in processing the spectroscopic data of SWCNTs filled with metal halogenide, metal chalcogenide, metal and metallocenes. First, the methods of processing kinetic data were developed to reveal precise trends in growth rates and activation energies of the growth of SWCNTs. Second, the metal-dependence of kinetics was revealed. Third, metallicity-sorted (metallic and semiconducting) SWCNTs were filled with a range of substances and the electronic properties were investigated. Fourth, new approaches to processing the data of spectroscopic investigations of filled SWCNTs were developed, which allowed more reliable and precise analysis of the experimental results. Fifth, the correlation between the physical and chemical properties of encapsulated substances and the electronic properties of SWCNTs were elucidated. These points are highlighted in the review.
