(a) Optimized structure of a pristine (8,0) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and (b) its corresponding energy band structure, showing semiconducting behavior with an energy bandgap of 0.643 eV. The dotted green line indicates the Fermi level, which is set to zero. Different adsorption sites on an SWCNT (Ho: hollow, A: axial, Z: zigzag, and T: top). (c) The optimized molecular structure of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). (d) The most stable adsorption configuration of H2O2 on pristine SWCNT. Distances are given in the unit of Å. The red and black dotted arrows present the diameter of the nanotube parallel and perpendicular orientation to the axis of the nanotube, respectively.
