Adsorption behaviors of dodecanethiol (C12H25SH) molecules are investigated on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with vibrational and X-ray photoelectron spectrometers. The active adsorption sites are proved as Stone-Wales (SW) defects (5–7 ring defects). The SW defect-removed SWCNTs formed by reacting nanotubes with allyl acrylate molecules are compared with pristine SWCNTs in dispersion and field emission. The former shows higher dispersion and field emission than the latter
