Chirality-dependent reactivity of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Electronic characteristics of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) strongly depend on minor variations in its atomic arrangement, specifically chirality. Therefore, precise control over nanotube chirality is highly desired for their application. Theoretically, SWCNTs with different structures have different chemical reactivities, which can be further used for their chirality selection. Here,...
متن کاملStructure-Dependent Thermal Defunctionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.
Covalent sidewall functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is an important tool for tailoring their properties for research purposes and applications. In this study, SWCNT samples were first functionalized by reductive alkylation using metallic lithium and 1-iodododecane in liquid ammonia. Samples of the alkyl-functionalized SWCNTs were then pyrolyzed under an inert atmosphe...
متن کاملTransient deformation regime in bending of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Pure bending of single-walled carbon nanotubes between (5,5) and (50,50) is studied using molecular dynamics based on the reactive bond order potential. Unlike smaller nanotubes, bending of (15,15) and larger ones exhibits an intermediate deformation in the transition between the buckled and fully kinked configurations. This transient bending regime is characterized by a gradual and controllabl...
متن کاملDeformation-promoted reactivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes
This paper investigates the effect of mechanical deformation of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) on its reactivity with hydrogen and alkyl radicals. The influence of individual loading modes was explored with the aid of molecular dynamics simulation for deformation and quantum mechanics analysis for reaction. The study discovered that the radicals bind to the deformation-induced ridges ti...
متن کاملSingle - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...
