Abstract
Semiempirical quantum chemical analysis of a Be doped single-walled, semicapped, armchair type nanotube, Be@C115, was achieved at the level of PM3 (RHF) type calculations for some of its quantum chemical properties and hydrogen storage capacity. The Be@C115 system was found to be capable of storing 1-5 hydrogen molecules as endohedral dopant(s), whereas the sixth hydrogen molecule was expelled out. All the structures, (Be+nH2)@C115 were found to be stable and endothermic. Moreover, the increasing number of hydrogen molecules seemed to be stabilizing.
