Creating fluorescent quantum defects in carbon nanotubes using hypochlorite and light

Creating fluorescent defects in single-walled carbon nanotubes is a promising way to modify their optical properties, but defect generation is still difficult to control. Here, the authors report an efficient method to incorporate high-quality oxygen defects in carbon nanotubes using only hypochlori...
