Stabilization of Polyoxometalate Charge Carriers via Redox‐Driven Nanoconfinement in Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes (2022)
Journal Article
Jordan, J. W., Cameron, J. M., Lowe, G. A., Rance, G. A., Fung, K. L. Y., Johnson, L. R., …Newton, G. N. (2022). Stabilization of Polyoxometalate Charge Carriers via Redox‐Driven Nanoconfinement in Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 61(8), Article e202115619. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202115619

We describe the preparation of hybrid redox materials based on polyoxomolybdates encapsulated within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Polyoxomolybdates readily oxidize SWNTs under ambient conditions in solution, and here we study their charge-...
