Density Functional Study of the Adsorption of Methanol and its Derivatives on Boron Nitride Nanotubes by Ali Ahmadi Peyghan, Maziar Noei

“…Changes in the structural and electronic properties of chemically modified boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) using methanol and its derivatives including CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH CH 3 CH 2 OH, (ph)CH 2 CH 2 OH, CH 2 COOH and (CN)CH 2 CH 2 OH were investigated using density functional theory calculations. The study results showed that molecules of methanol can be chemically adsorbed on top of a sidewall B atom with an adsorption energy of −0.67 eV, which is stronger than that of carbon nanotubes. …”
