Characteristic Features of Stone-Wales Defects in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube; Adsorption, Dispersion, and Field Emission

Adsorption behaviors of dodecanethiol (C12H25SH) molecules are investigated on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with vibrational and X-ray photoelectron spectrometers. The active adsorption sites are proved as Stone-Wales (SW) defects (5–7 ring defects). The SW defect-removed S...
