Synthesis of outer tube-selectively nitrogen-doped double-walled carbon nanotubes by nitrogen plasma treatment

Abstract

We demonstrate selective nitrogen doping on the outer tubes of double walled carbon nanotubes by nitrogen plasma treatment. Such selectivity improves the chemical activity of the outer tubes, including their wettability and oxygen reduction reaction properties, while retaining the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the inner tubes.
