  • Modeling of graphenylene sheets rolled into nanotubes with (n,m) nomenclature.

    • Main Results:

    • Graphenylene nanotubes exhibit 4-, 6-, and 12-membered rings with non-uniform electron density.
    • Zigzag graphenylene nanotubes are predicted to be small-band gap semiconductors, with band gaps decreasing as diameter increases.
    • Armchair graphenylene nanotubes show metallic characteristics for diameters <2 nm and semiconducting properties for larger diameters.

    Conclusions:

    • Graphenylene nanotubes present a new class of carbon nanomaterials with tunable electronic properties.
    • The electronic behavior (semiconducting or metallic) is highly dependent on nanotube diameter and chirality.
    • These findings open avenues for designing novel electronic devices based on graphenylene nanostructures.
