The CdSe QDs were capped by various mercaptocarboxylic acids including thioglycolic acid TGA dihydrolipoic acid DHLA and mercaptoundecanoic acid MUA which provide shell thicknesses of and A respectively. The surface-modified CdSe QDs are then selfassembled onto aridine orange-modified CNTs via electrostatic interaction to give CdSe CNT nanohybrids. The photoluminescence PL efficiencies of the obtained nanohybrids increase significantly with the increase of the shell thickness which is attributed to a distance-dependent photo-induced charge-transfer mechanism. This work demonstrates a simple mean for fine tuning the PL properties of the CdSe CNT nanohybrids and gains new insights to the photo-induced charge transfer in such nanostructures. Keywords Carbon nanotubes CdSe Nanohybrids Photoluminescence Charge transfer Introduction Recently nanohybrids containing both semiconductor quantum dots QDs and carbon nanotubes CNTs have been the subject of great interest as a consequence of the development of methods for the chemical modification of CNTs and the seeking for novel functional materials 1-4 . .
