Probing the Stability of Halogenated Carbon Atomic Wires in Electrospun Nanofibers via Raman Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Carbon atomic wires (CAWs) are one-dimensional (1D) sp-carbon nanostructures with remarkable electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, but their instability limits their practical applications. Embedding them in solid matrices can enhance their stability. This work reports the first example of electrospun nanofibers embedding halogenated CAWs. A solution of poly-(methyl methacrylate) and CAWs in N,N-dimethylformamide was electrospun using various parameters to investigate the effects on fiber morphology and diameter. Halogenated CAWs were successfully incorporated with a minimal morphological impact. Raman spectroscopy confirmed effective embedding and CAWs stability during electrospinning. The halogenated CAWs showed resistance to degradation for at least six months an
