Abstract

It has been established that the localization of crystalline LaB6 nanoparticles determines the work function of the hybrid carbon nanomaterial single-walled nanotubes/graphene. As the mass fraction of LaB6 nanoparticles increases, the work function decreases.Using the density functional theory (DFT), we study the influence of the localization and the mass fraction of crystalline LaB6 nanoparticles on the electronic structure and emission properties of a 1D nanomaterial based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) covalently bonded to graphene sheets. It has been found that the localization of LaB6 nanoparticles determines the work function of the SWCNT / graphene complex. The greatest decrease in the work function is observed when the LaB6 nanoparticles are located in the region of the nanotube-graphene junction. A successive increase in the mass fraction (wt.) of LaB6 from 4.5 % to 47 % showed that the decrease in the work function reaches saturation at ≈41 wt.%. It is shown that decorating the framework of SWCNT / graphene 1D nanomaterial with LaB6 nanoparticles makes it possible to achieve a decrease in the work function by ≈13 % compared to a pure carbon framework.
