TL;DR: In this paper, a progress report on the focused functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) surfaces is presented, which explores advances in the formation of nanotube derivatives that essentially maintain and even enhance their performance metrics after precise chemical modification.

TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the development of environmentally benign methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials has become increasingly relevant as chemists look to shape a more sustainable future, focusing on the inherent advantages of utilizing porous membrane templates, ultrasonic and microwave irradiation, alternative solvent systems, as well as biologically-inspired reagents as reasonably cost-effective, environmentally responsible methods to generate metal, metal oxide, fluoride, sulfide, selenide and phosphate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated a covalent route toward site-selective synthesis of MWNT−nanoparticle conjugates containing two different types of nanoscale species, i.e., Au nanoparticles and CdSe QDs.

TL;DR: In this article, double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) with quantum dots (QDs) with terminal amino groups have been conjugated onto the surfaces of oxidized DWNTs by the formation of amide bonds.
