Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is based on experimental work on electrochemically mediated charge transfer effects on Single-walled carbon nanotube bundles. The study of these effects are very important towards understanding the sensitivity of gases on nanostructures like single-walled carbon nanotubes. Chapter one covers the introduction and overview of carbon nanostructures including single-walled carbon nanotubes. Chapter two covers the experimental techniques involving sample preparation, experimental setup and data acquisition. Chapter three consists of Results and the Discussions explaining the mechanisms based on charge transfer mechanism. In the final chapter, implications and the importance of the study are explained. Single-walled carbon nanotubes are used …
