Ionic Strength‐Mediated “DNA Corona Defects” for Efficient Arrangement of Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes
AbstractSingle‐stranded DNA oligonucleotides wrapping on the surface of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), described as DNA corona, are often used as a dispersing agent for SWCNTs. The uneven distribution of DNA corona along SWCNTs is related to the photoelectric properties and the surface activity of SWCNTs. An ionic strength‐mediated “DNA corona defects” (DCDs) strategy is proposed to acquire an exposed surface of SWCNTs (accessible surface) as large as possible while maintaining good dispersibility via modulating the conformation of DNA corona. By adjusting the solution ionic strength, the DNA corona phase transitioned from an even‐distributed and loose conformation to a locally compact conformation. The resulting enlarged exposed surface of SWCNTs is called DCDs, which provide active sites for molecular adsorption. This strategy is applied for the arrangement of SWCNTs on DNA origami. SWCNTs with ≈11 nm DCD, providing enough space for the adsorption of “capture ssDNA” (≈7 nm width required for 24‐nt) extended from DNA origami structures are fabricated. The DCD strategy has potential applications in SWCNT‐based optoelectronic devices.
