Abstract
Analysis of the scientific literature shows that oxygen reacts with CNTs by physical adsorption only—when semiconductor nanotubes have acceptor-type conductivity. A calculation, made by methods of quantum mechanics, indicate this may be chemical adsorption which has a partial free energy of >10 eV. Adsorption energy is big, so this phenomenon is not observed in practice. Analysis of experimental adsorption isotherms of oxygen and desorption thermogravimetric curves allow calculation of oxygen adsorption energy for three possible locations.
