Csub60/Collapsed Carbon Nanotube Hybrids: A Variant of Peapods (Open Access)
2015
Abstract : We examine a variant of so-called carbon nanotube peapods by packing Csub60 molecules inside the open edge ducts of collapsed carbon nanotubes. Csub60 insertion is accomplished through a facile single-step solution-based process. Theoretical modeling is used to evaluate favorable low-energy structural configurations. Overfilling of the collapsed tubes allows infiltration of Csub60 over the full cross-section of the tubes and consequent partial or complete reinflation, yielding few-wall, large diameter cylindrical nanotubes packed with crystalline Csub60 solid cores.
