摘要

Recent studies have demonstrated that significantly low sheet resistance (Rs) (<100 Ω/sq; comparable to ITO) were achieved in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films treated with HNO₃ followed by thionyl chloride. Here we show that H₂SO₄ can effectively reduce the Rs of SWCNT electrodes. H₂SO₄ treatment generates defects (COOH and SO₃H functionalities) on SWCNTs and the produced chemical functionalities are beneficial for enhancing the electrical conductivity in SWCNT electrodes. It is plausible that the H₂SO₄ p-dopes the SWCNTs and the attachment of chemical functionalities helps to stabilize p-doping owing to their electron-deficient property.
