摘要
Azide-functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWCNTs） was achieved by electrochemical oxidation of N3 in situ. The functionalized nanotubes were characterized in details by single internal reflection infrared spectroscopy （ATR-FTIR） and thermogravimetic analysis （TGA/MS）. The results revealed that a covalent C-N bond had formed and this might provide an effective method for the preparation of azide-functionalized materials, especially carbon materials. The degree of functionaliza- tion was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）.
