Abstract
The present study is focused on the synthesis and investigation of the nanocomposite CuI@SWNT obtained by the filling of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) (inner diameter 1–1.4 nm) by wide-gap semiconducting CuI nanocrystals using so-called capillary technique. The method is based on the impregnation of pre-opened SWNTs by molten CuI in vacuum with subsequent slow cooling to room temperature. SWNTs and CuI@SWNT nanocomposites were studied by nitrogen capillary adsorption method, EDX microanalysis, HRTEM microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The changing of electronic properties of CuI@SWNT as compare to row nanotubes was observed.
