Abstract EN
The rich chemistry of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is enhanced by substitutional doping, a process in which a single atom of the nanotube sidewall is replaced by a heteroatom.
These so-called heteroatom-substituted SWCNTs (HSWCNTs) exhibit unique chemical and physical properties not observed in their corresponding undoped congeners.
Herein, we present theoretical studies of both main group element and transition metal-doped HSWCNTs.
Within density functional theory (DFT), we discuss mechanistic details of their proposed synthesis from vacancy-defected SWCNTs and describe their geometric and electronic properties.
Additionally, we propose applications for these nanomaterials in nanosensing, nanoelectronics, and nanocatalysis.
