Résumé:

We report an x-ray absorption fine structure study at the iodine-K edge of the local structure in iodine-doped carbon nanotubes. The iodine-carbon host interaction is shown to be weaker in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) than in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Iodine species are only localized at the surface of the external tube for MWNTs, whereas iodine species enter inside SWNTs. For doped SWNTs, both the experimental and the theoretical EXAFS spectra allow us to establish the structure of the iodine chain as disordered pentaiodide at the saturation level.
