The study of the process of hydrogenation of single-walled carbon nanotubes using inductively coupled argon-hydrogen plasma

In this article it was demonstrated the possibility of partial hydrogenation of single-walled carbon nanotubes using an inductively coupled argon-hydrogen plasma. It was studied the changes in the Raman spectrum of samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes during plasma hydrogen intercalation with depending on the treatment time, the discharge power, the substrate material on which the nanotubes were deposited, and the control external voltage. The predominant role of hydrogen ions in the hydrogenation of single-walled carbon nanotubes has been demonstrated.
