Stability of single-walled carbon nanotubes toward covalent bonding between the zigzag edges

Edges of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique electronic structure and chemical reactivity that have not been fully explored yet. With help of the DFT and GFN2-xTB electronic structure calculations, we demonstrate for the first time that the zigzag edges of carbon nanotubes are capabl...
