Abstract
The transport of one-dimensional CuI crystals in channels of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been studied by high resolution electron microscopy. The diffusion kinetics has been investigated by counting the number of CuI atoms escaping from the nanotube channel. The diffusivity is calculated to be 6.8 × 10–21 m2/s, which corresponds to an activation-barrier height of ~1 eV/atom. A comparison with the theoretically estimated height of the energy barrier for molecular transport through a graphene layer is indicative of mass transfer through vacancy defects in graphene.
