We have developed a reliable method of attaching fluorine to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), by exposing the SWNTs to a CF4 plasma.
X-ray photoelectron spectra of unexposed and plasma-exposed SWNTs showing the existence of C-F bonding after plasma exposure
Raman spectra of un-exposed and plasma-exposed SWNTs showing subtle changes in the D to G band
