Abstract

We report the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and the local electronic properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) using density functional theory. Our analysis shows that there is a strong size-dependence of the BDE of these SWCNTs, which is inversely proportional to the radius-squared (1/r2) and the length (1/l) of SWCNT. We derive quantitative relationships from which the BDE can be calculated as a function of size and radius of the SWCNT. We find that the BDE of SWCNT outside the size-dependent region is about 480 kJ mol−1, which can be used for thermochemical calculations.
