Binding energies, geometric and electronic structures for[1+1] (H/[1+1]) and[2+1] (O/[2+1]) additions of H and O atoms on a (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotube with V1~V4 vacancies are studied using a GGA-PBE method in this work. Defect curvature proposed on the basis of directional curvature theory, including atomic curvature (KM-def) and bond curvature (KD-def), is used to predict the reactivities of different atoms and bonds at the defect structural area. We find that the existence of vacancy defects enhances the H and O adsorption ability on the (5,5) tube. The calculated results show that in the V1 and V3 defects the C atoms with two-coordination have the strongest chemical activity for[1+1] and[2+1] additions, and among which the C atoms participated into[2+1] additions form carbonyl groups with O. For other atoms and bonds at the defect structural area, the binding energies of one H atom on the (5,5) tube monotonously increases with the increase of KM-def. When the KD-def of C-C bonds for the O/[2+1] additions are large, the C-C bonds are easily broken, and they are corresponding to adducts with the C-O-C configuration structures and large binding energies. When the KD-def of C-C bonds are small, the C-C bonds are not broken, and they are corresponding to adducts with the closed-3MR (three-member ring) structures. The binding energies for the H/[1+1] and O/[2+1] additions on the (5,5) tube mainly are determined by the curvature and affected by the electronic density in frontier orbital and partial density of state (PDOS) of C atoms participated in the reactions. The large electronic density in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and large PDOS of C atoms near the Fermi level strengthen the adsorption of H and O atoms on the (5,5) tube. This study will provide a theoretical basis for surface modifications of carbon nanotubes with vacancy defects.
