The internal channels of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were filled with silver chloride. The filling was confirmed by high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. The filling-induced modifications of Raman modes of SWCNTs were analyzed. The fitting of the radial breathing mode (RBM) and G-bands of Raman spectra of the pristine and filled nanotubes with individual components allowed analyzing in detail the influence of encapsulated silver chloride on the electronic properties of different diameter nanotubes. The analysis of the RBM-band allowed revealing the changes in resonance excitation conditions of SWCNTs upon filling. The analysis of the G-band allowed concluding about p-doping of nanotubes by incorporated silver chloride accompanied by charge transfer from nanotubes to the inserted salt.

We performed endohedral functionalization of high-purity metallicity-sorted semiconducting and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a mean diameter of 1.4 nm with silver chloride (AgCl) by the method of capillary filling with the melt. The AgCl-filled SWCNTs were investigated by high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, which were combined to study comprehensively the modified electronic properties of the filled SWCNTs. The data revealed a downshift of the Fermi level of the nanotubes upon filling, i.e., a p-doping of SWCNTs.

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy revealed the nanoscale chemical properties of organic molecules encapsulated in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Our approach is based on an enhanced electric field near a laser-irradiated metal tip functioning as a Raman excitation source. The enhanced field can successfully act on encapsulated molecules through the walls of the SWNTs to extract molecular vibrational information -carotene, which exhibits several active Raman modes under visible light illumination, was used as the encapsulated molecule. Tip-enhanced Raman spectra measured at seven different positions on SWNT bundles showed that carotene molecules inside the tubes were not uniformly distributed. It is also found that the filling rate and peak position of the radial breathing mode of the SWNTs are linearly correlated.

In this contribution the modification of the electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) filled with nickel bromide, cobalt bromide, and iron bromide was studied by Raman spectroscopy. The doping-induced alterations of the radial breathing mode (RBM) and G-mode in the Raman spectra of the filled SWCNTs were analyzed in detail. The observed shifts of the components of the Raman modes and changes of their profiles allowed concluding that the embedded compounds have an acceptor doping effect on the SWCNTs, and the doping level increases in the line with nickel bromide-cobalt bromide-iron bromide.

This study is considered as a method for producing multifunctional metal composite materials by using Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs). In this research, various metals (Ni, Cu, Ag ) were successfully deposited onto the surface of SWNTs. It has been found that homogenous dispersion and dense nucleation sites are the necessary conditions to form uniform coating on SWNTs. Functionalization has been applied to achieve considerable improvement in the dispersion of purified single-walled carbon nanotubes. A three-step electroless plating approach was used and the coating mechanism is described in the paper. The samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The application of coated SWNTs in Titanium will be discussed in this paper.

Restored high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images have been recorded from 1D semiconductor crystals formed within narrow diameter (ca. 1.4 nm) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Two unique projections were obtained from separate crystal fragments encapsulated within separate nanotubes that has facilitated the reconstruction of the three dimensional arrangement of atoms within the two encapsulated fragments.
