Abstract
Provided are a method of doping carbon nanotubes, p-doped carbon nanotubes prepared using the method, and an electrode, a display device or a solar cell including the carbon nanotubes. Particularly, a method of doping carbon nanotubes having improved conductivity by reforming the carbon nanotubes using an oxidizer, doped carbon nanotubes prepared using the method, and an electrode, a display device or a solar cell including the carbon nanotubes are provided
Claims18
A method of doping carbon nanotubes, the method comprising:
- preparing an oxidizer solution comprising an oxidizer and an organic solvent;
- and
- disposing carbon nanotubes using the oxidizer solution,
- wherein the oxidizer is a compound of chemical formula 1:
- where M is hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C7-C30 arylalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C7-C30 alkylaryl group, Ag, Li, Cs, K, NO, NO2, or ClCO, and
- R1 and R2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 heteroalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 heteroaryl group,
- wherein one more hydrogen atom in R1 and R2 is substituted for —CF3.
A film comprising doped carbon nanotubes which has conductivity of less than 103 Ω/sq, and an optical transmittance of at least 75%.
