Abstract :
Tailoring electronic properties of single wall carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) is expected to develop the application potential in various fields. SWCNH is efficiently modified with iodine molecules by liquid phase adsorption. The adsorption isotherm of iodine on SWCNH was Langmuirian with the saturated adsorption amount of 185 ± 10 mg g−1 (coverage 0.18), indicating a specific interaction between SWCNH and iodine. The DC electrical conductivity of SWCNH film prepared by dip-coating method increased with the iodine adsorption amount almost by a factor 10.
