A new SnO2-Fe2O3/SWCNTs(single-walled carbon nanotubes) ternary nanocomposite was first synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach.SnO2 and Fe2O3 nanoparticles(NPs) were homogeneously located on the surface of SWCNTs,as confirmed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscope(TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX).Due to the synergistic effect of different components,the as synthesized SnO2-Fe2O3/SWCNTs composite as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with a high capacity of 692 mAh·g-1 which could be maintained after 50 cycles at 200 mA·g-1.Even at a high rate of2000 mA·g-1,the capacity was still remained at 656 mAh·g-1.
The electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were modulated by filling with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), a strong electron acceptor. The structures of TCNQ-filled SWCNTs were checked by X-ray diffraction analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Optical absorption spectroscopy demonstrated an enhanced reactivity between aryl diazonium and semiconducting SWCNTs.
本文选用不同基底和溶剂进行单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)样品制备,采用原子力显微镜(atomic force microscope,AFM)观察进行表征和观测。结果表明,溶剂和基底对样品制备十分重要,会直接影响AFM观测效果。以去离子水为溶剂进行样品分散时,SWNTs在石英、硅片和云母三种基底上都出现了不同程度的聚积和重叠,影响观测效果。而采用乙醇为溶剂,在石英或云母为基底进行成像时,均可获得质量良好的图像。选择云母作为基底,可以大大减少基底处理时间,制样方便快速,并且能够获得理想的观测效果。
