Study on electrochemical effects of carbon nanotube material defects

Abstract

The study and implementation of clean, efficient, and long-lasting forms of new energy are currently the focal point of scientific inquiry all over the globe. Carbon nanotubes are excellent hydrogen storage materials, catalyst carriers, and electronic device components due to their outstanding electrochemical properties and near-ideal one-dimensional nanospace. The periodic structure of the crystal and the surrounding charge distribution can be effectively altered by constructing defects in electrode materials or electrocatalysts, as has been demonstrated in a large number of recent studies. This paper provides a summary of the interaction of carbon-carbon double bonds, an analysis of the electrochemical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes with various chiral graphene defects, and an investigation of the electrochemical properties of double-walled carbon nanotubes with blade dislocation, spiral dislocation, and their composite structures, all based on molecular dynamics simulation.
