Abstract

The relationship between the carboncarbon bond distance and charge transfer in GICs has been studied experimentally, mainly by $in$ $situ$ neutron diffraction measurements on D₂SO₄ — graphite during electrochemical intercalation. There is substantial, but not perfect, agreement with the theory of Pietronero and Strässler.

Electronic and vibrational properties of chemically modified single-wall carbon nanotubes
2005, Surface Science Reports
Recent experimental work on the chemical functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes and its implication on the tubes’ electronic and vibrational properties are surveyed. The dependence of chemical reactivity on the physical and electronic structure of the tubes is discussed. Moreover, experimentally observed changes of the electronic and photonic structure are compared to theoretical predictions for various non-covalent and covalent functionalization schemes.
Carbon nanotubes acting like actuators

Nanotube-based actuators use dimensional changes in covalently bonded directions caused by this charge injection, which originate from quantum chemical and double layer electrostatics effects. For low charge densities, calculations [3–6], and experimental results [7–12] for charge transfer complexes of graphite and conducting polymers show that the strain due to quantum mechanical effects (changes in orbital occupation and band structure) is an expansion for electron injection and a contraction for hole injection. However, in the case of a high-density charge injection of either sign, an expansion results from both quantum mechanical effects and electrostatic double layer charging.
The direct conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is crucial for a number of high-technology applications. Macroscopic sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes, working under physiological conditions (in salt water for example) and low voltage, have shown comparable or superior performances than natural muscle. Specific characteristics of single or nanotube bundles allows one to expect even greater intrinsic properties for nano and micro actuator devices based on one or a few hundred nanotubes.
Towards the demonstration of actuator properties of a single carbon nanotube
2001, Current Applied Physics
Owing to its huge elastic modulus, good conductivity and large free surface area per mass, a single carbon single-walled nanotube (SWNT) should present optimal intrinsic actuation properties. Our aim is to demonstrate the viability of such a single nanotube-based actuator (“nano-actuator”). To achieve this goal, the primary focus was on how to obtain and manipulate an isolated and suspended SWNT. Several strategies have been attempted to produce such nanotubes (NTs), among them the “stamping” of tubes on functionalised substrates, or the direct growth of tubes from an oxide catalyst layer on a pre-designed substrate. Characterisation of these structures was carried out by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Manipulation of NT on flat surfaces was first demonstrated, before attempts were made to probe the suspended NTs. The final and most important step will be the use of an atomic force microscope to probe the deformation of the nanotube which should occur under a bias voltage in an electrochemical cell.
X-ray diffraction and raman scattering studies of HClO<inf>4</inf>-graphite intercalation compounds
1992, Carbon
The stage phenomenon of HClO₄-graphite intercalation compounds (HClO₄-GIC) prepared by the electrochemical reaction was studied by means of X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering. The stage characteristics of HClO₄-GICs corresponding to various points on the potential curve were observed. The resonant enhanced Raman scattering from the graphitic intralayer mode has been found in stage 1 and stage 2 HClO₄-GIC.
In-plane conductivity of electrochemically intercalated pyrographite
1989, Synthetic Metals
Careful contactless measurements of the in-plane conductivity of HOPG performed in-situ during its electrochemical intercalation by H₂SO₄ are reported. This conductivity, when related to the sole graphene layers, is shown to increase regularly from the 8th to the Ist stage compound according to a $Q^{12} + xQ^{23}$ law, where Q is the carbon charge. A percolation model is suggested between graphite and the 8th stage.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy of ICl-intercalated graphite
1988, Synthetic Metals
X-ray absorption (XA) spectroscopy was applied to investigate the local intercalate structure in ICl-graphite. Both the NEXAFS (near-edge XA fine structure) and EXAFS (extended XA fine structure) of the ClK and IL_I,III thresholds reveal an increase of the intramolecular ICl bondlength. This is attributed to a modification of the σ- and π-orbitals of the ICl molecule in part by interactions with the graphite π-system. Using an additionally observed intermolecular ICl distance we propose an improved model for the intercalate structure.
