Abstract

Nitrogen-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs) are known as a perspective material for a variety of applications in nanoelectronic devices, sensors, catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction, and flexible thermoelectrics. However, up to date most of the reports on the properties of N-MWCNTs are focused on a narrow niche of research, for example, a study of low-temperature magnetoresistance or room-temperature thermoelectrical properties. In this work, N-MWCNTs were synthesized using benzene:pyridine precursor in different ratios, and both magnetoresistance and thermoelectrical properties of the synthesized N-MWCNTs were systematically investigated in the temperature range 2-300 K and compared with the properties of undoped MWCNTs. Unexpected switching of the magnetoresistance of the N-MWCNTs at low temperatures from negative to positive values was observed, and the processes underlying this effect are discussed. The study of the thermoelectrical properties revealed n-type conductance in the N-MWCNTs, which was attributed to the impact of nitrogen defects incorporated in the MWCNT structure. Performed for the first-time investigations of the thermal stability of the Seebeck coefficient of N-MWCNTs in air revealed that the Seebeck coefficient retains its negative values and even increases after annealing of the N-MWCNTs in air at 500 °C. These findings illustrate the high potential of the presented in this work N-MWCNTs for applications in different devices in a wide range of temperatures.
