the storage capacity of hydrogen on na-decorated born nitride nanotubes (bnnts) is investigated by using density functional theory within quantum espresso and gaussian 09. the results obtained predict that a single na atom tends to occupy above the central region of the hexagonal rings in (5,0) and (3,3) bnnt structures with a binding energy of -2.67 and -4.28 ev/na-atom respectively. when a si...
