title: Photocatalysis-induced selective decoration of semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes: hole-doping effect.
abstract: We have examined the time-dependent effect of the titanium oxide photocatalysis on N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone individually dispersed single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) suspensions. From optical spectroscopic studies, we found a selective decoration of the semiconducting tubes. Such selectivity is attributed to the preferential attack of the photogenerated active species on the hole-doped semiconducting SWNTs.
