Key Points

The aim is to investigate the influence of single vacancy defects on ultrafast excitation energy transfer between porphyrin and single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Analyzed the optoelectronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes
Investigated excitation energy transfer characteristics
Evaluated the effect of structural defects on energy transfer
Single vacancy defects showed a negligible effect on energy transfer efficiency
Excitation energy transfer remained largely unaffected despite the presence of defects
Overall charge transfer processes were stable in the presence of structural flaws

Implication

Research reveals minimal impact of single vacancy defects on excitation energy transfer in carbon nanotubes, suggesting structural integrity is less critical.

Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) possess remarkable optoelectronic properties and can be decorated with functional molecules to facilitate photoinduced excitation energy transfer (EET) and charge transfer (CT) processes. However, structural defects...
