Abstract

We introduce a multiprobe platform for the investigation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) that allows the electrochemical response of an individual SWNT to be mapped at high spatial resolution and correlated directly with the intrinsic electronic and structural properties. With this approach, we develop a detailed picture of the factors controlling electrochemistry at SWNTs and propose a definitive model that has major implications for future architectures of SWNT electrode devices.
