Directing single-walled carbon nanotubes to self-assemble at water/oil interfaces and facilitate electron transfer.
Both the behavior and the general key factors for assembling flexible SWNT films at the water/oil interface were investigated; the electron transfer, one of the most fundamental chemical processes, at the SWNT-sandwiched water/oil interface was also firstly illustrated using scanning electrochemical microscopy.
