Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are encapsulated with microenvironments of nonpolar solvent, providing a new method to measure the photophysical properties of nanotubes in environments with known properties. Photoluminescence (PL) and absorbance spectra of SWNTs show solvatochromic shifts in 16 nonpolar solvents, which are proportional to the solvent induction polarization. The shifts in the emission energies (ΔE11) range from approximately 25 to 100 meV and the smallest diameter SWNTs have the largest shifts. The PL intensity of SWNTs is very sensitive to changes in polarity. For example, SWNTs encapsulated with chloroform (ε∼ 5) show substantial reductions in intensity. The solvatochromic shifts of SWNTs were used to determine the relationship between the longitudinal polarizability, band gap and radius, α11,|| ∝ 1/(R2E113).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
