Abstract
Nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (N-doped SWCNTs) were synthesized by reacting fluorinated SWCNTs with ammonia gas at reaction temperatures of 300–600°C. In the N-doped SWCNTs synthesized at 400°C (N400°C-doped SWCNTs), nitrogen atoms were introduced into the nanotube framework at a concentration of 3.04at.%, the concentrations of the pyridinic-, pyrrolic-, graphitic-, and pyridine-N-oxide-type nitrogen species were 1.22, 1.36, 0.34, and 0.08at.%, respectively, and their percentages with respect to the total nitrogen species were 40.1, 44.7, 11.2, and 2.6%, respectively. The volume resistivity of films of the N400°C-doped SWCNTs was 2.3±1.1Ω·cm, indicating that they can be classified as semiconductors. Finally, it was found that the thermopower of the N400°C-doped SWCNTs was negative at room temperature in air, indicating that they exhibited n-type conduction.
