Ball milling is regularly applied to carbon materials. Applying graphite, it was used to produce highly curved nanostructures [1], [2], to insert lithium [3] or to improve the hydrogen storage capacity of the material [4], [5]. In this paper, we propose to use this grinding method on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Ball Milling. Ball milling and subsequent annealing is a simple method for the production of CNTs. Although it is well established that mechanical attrition of this type can lead to fully nano porous microstructures, it was not until a few years ago that CNTs of carbon and boron nitride were produced from these powders by thermal annealing.
This Letter proposes a novel chemo-mechanical method to in situ functionalize carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Ball milling in the presence of ammonium bicarbonate allowed the introduction of amine and amide groups onto the surface of CNTs, resulting in the conversion of the semiconducting behavior of CNTs from p-type to n-type.
