Ads orption of Ethane on Pristin e and Ni-d oped Sin gle Walle d Aluminium Nitride Nanotube

Aluminum Nitride nanotubes show man y similarities to the BN nanotubes due to electronic prope rties, geome ters, and stability [۱]. A hexagonal AlN nanotubes has been synthe sized which are actuall y nano-rods with a hall ow center [۲ ]. On the f ramework of AlN nano tubes, the Pa uling electronegativity of the nitrogen atom is ۳.۰۴ whic h is much l arger than t hat of alumi num atom and leads to a significant charge tran sfer from al uminum to nitrogen [۳] . The intera ction of Al N single walled nanotubes with gases, excepting hydrogen, ammonia , and carbo n dioxide [۴] has seldo m been investigated an d remains largely an unexplored area. In this research work, we investigate the ability of the A LN nanotube to adsorb the ethane gas.
