MotivationMetal nanoparticles attached to carbon-based nanostructured materials enable new

applications in electrochemical energy storage (e.g. fuel cells) [1] as well as chemical

detection [1,2,3] and optical sensing [2,3,4]. Requirements for electronic sensors are

appropriate and versatile nanoelectronic transducers, the design of which can comprise

the modification of the channel material of a nanoelectronic field-effect transistor, e.g.

made from semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs). In the ideal

case, this component can be functionalized with nanoscopic building blocks in a modular

manner that allows a selective response and tuning of the sensitivity. Field-effect

transistors (FETs) using individualized SWCNTs have been proposed for this case as FET

channel material with special properties regarding sensitivity and selectivity of resulting

sensor devices [5,6].

Recently, we presented a scalable on-chip functionalization approach for SWCNTs

between palladium electrodes in the geometry of a field-effect transistor with preformed

gold nanoparticles [5]. This method is wafer-level compatible and comprises two stages of

flow chemistry. In a new chemical approach, we are using pyrenylalkylthioates as linker

molecules for non covalent functionalization of SWCNTs with metal nanoparticles which

also enable debundling of CNT agglomerates.

Summary

• Preparation of aspheric copper nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of

copper(I) carboxylates

→ Different shape (spheres, triangles, hexagons and ellipses) & size (19 to

162 nm size)

• Template supported synthesis of gold nanoparticles by thermal decomposition

of copper(I) carboxylates in the presence of HAuCl4→ Different shape (spheres, triangles and ellipses) & size (13 to 75 nm size)

• Pyrene derivatives with long alkyl chains and terminal thioacetate

functionalization can be used for linkage of nanoparticles to CNTs by

π-π-stacking and also enable debundling of CNT agglomerates.
