Abstract
Carbon nanoallotropes have attracted significant attention in the field of materials science due to their unique combination of physicochemical and biological properties, with numerous applications. One-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sp2-carbon nanoallotropes, such as carbon nanohorns (CNHs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene, have emerged as prominent candidates for a variety of technological advancements. To fully exploit their exceptional characteristics, the covalent functionalization of these nanostructures may alleviate the problems with the processing and final performance. This route of the carbon nanoallotrope functionalization is based on a covalent attachment of functional groups or molecules (via linkers of various strengths) to their surfaces, enabling precise control over physical, chemical, biological, and electronic properties. Such an approach opens up new avenues for tailoring the nanoallotrope characteristics, such as solubility/dispersibility, reactivity, and interactions with other materials. Over more than the last decade, significant progress has been made in the covalent functionalization of both 1D and 2D sp2-carbon nanoallotropes, paving the way for diverse applications in the nanoelectronics, energy storage, sensing, and biomedical fields. In this comprehensive review, we provide state-of-the-art advancements and achievements in the covalent functionalization of 1D and 2D sp2-carbon nanoallotropes during the past dozen years. We aim to highlight the key strategies, methodologies, and breakthroughs that have significantly contributed to this field. Eventually, we discuss the implications of those advancements and explore the opportunities for future research and applications.

Effect of Nitrogen Atoms in the CNT Structure on the Gas Sensing Properties of PANI/CNT Composite. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Herein we report the gas-sensitive properties to ammonia (at 2–10 ppm) of individual nanostructures of a polyaniline/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube composite with a nitrogen content of 0 at.% (uCNTs), 2 at.% (N-CNTs) and 4 at.% (N+-CNTs). Doping of nanotubes with nitrogen was carried out in order to both reduce the electron work function, to form a potential barrier at the “PANI-CNTs” interface, and reduce the contribution of nanotubes to the composite conductivity. An increase in the nitrogen content in CNTs leads to an increase in conductivity, a decrease in the work function, and the formation of defects in the outer walls of CNTs. It was found that the structural and chemical state of the polymer layer of all composites is the same. However, polymer morphology on nanotubes changes dramatically with increasing nitrogen content in CNTs: a thin smooth layer on uCNTs, a globular layer on N-CNTs, and a thick layer with a sheet-like structure on N+-CNTs. All composites showed the same response time (~20 s) and recovery time (~120 s). Ammonia sensitivity was 10.5 ± 0.2, 15.3 ± 0.5 and 2.2 ± 0.1 ppm−1 for PANI/uCNTs, PANI/N-CNTs and PANI/N+-CNTs, respectively. Based on the results obtained here, we came to the conclusion that the morphological features of the polymer layer on CNTs with different nitrogen content have a dominant effect on the gas reaction than the change in the electronic properties of the polymer at the interface “PANI-CNT”.

Abstract
Implantable neural electrodes are generally used to record the electrical activity of neurons and to stimulate neurons in the nervous system. Biofouling triggered by inflammatory responses can dramatically affect the performance of neural electrodes, resulting in decreased signal sensitivity and consistency over time. Thus, long-term clinical applications require electrically conducting electrode materials with reduced dimensions, high flexibility, and antibiofouling properties that can reduce the degree of inflammatory reactions and increase the lifetime of neural electrodes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well known to form flexible assemblies such as CNT fibers. Herein, we report the covalent functionalization of predefined CNT fiber and film surfaces with hydrophilic, antibiofouling phosphorylcholine (PC) molecules. The electrochemical and spectroscopic characteristics, impedance properties, hydrophilicity, and in vitro antifouling nature of the functionalized CNT surfaces were evaluated. The hydrophilicity of the functionalized CNT films was demonstrated by a decrease in the static contact angle from 134.4° ± 3.9° before to 15.7° ± 1.5° after one and fully wetting after three functionalization cycles, respectively. In addition, the extent of protein absorption on the functionalized CNT films was significantly lower than that on the nonfunctionalized CNT film. Surprisingly, the faradic charge-transfer properties and impedance of the CNT assemblies were preserved after functionalization with PC molecules. These functionalized CNT assemblies are promising for the development of low-impedance neural electrodes with higher hydrophilicity and protein-fouling resistance to inhibit inflammatory responses.

Abstract
We present the study of pristine and calcined f-MWCNTs functionalized by nitrogen-containing functional groups. We focus on the structural and microstructural modification tuned by the previous annealing. However, our primary goal was to analyze the electronic structure and magnetic properties in relation to the structural properties using a multi-technique approach. The studies carried out by X-ray diffraction, XPS, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectrometry revealed the presence of γ-Fe nanoparticles, Fe3C, and α-FeOOH as catalyst residues. XPS analysis based on the deconvolution of core level lines confirmed the presence of various nitrogen-based functional groups due to the purification and functionalization process of the nanotubes. The annealing procedure leads to a structural modification mainly associated with removing surface impurities as purification residues. Magnetic studies confirmed a significant contribution of Fe3C as evidenced by a Curie temperature estimated at TC = 452 ± 15 K. A slight change in magnetic properties upon annealing was revealed. The detailed studies performed on nanotubes are extremely important for the further synthesis of composite materials based on f-MWCNTs.
