Abstract
The structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of new inorganic X-phosphide nanotubes (ch-XPNT), with X = Al, Ga, or In and chirality of (5,5), are investigated. These new NTs display cap-hole ends, with the cap-hole features induced by the nonpassivated ends. Studies are based on density functional theory (DFT) using the M06-2X, PBE, and B3LYP functionals together with the LanL2DZ basis set. All nanostructures have been relaxed by minimizing the total energy, assuming a nonmagnetic nature and a total neutral charge. Note that the cap-hole NTs are terminated by a 10-atom ring, which in turn favors the geometrical ordering and yields stable structures. The (5,5) ch-XPNT are highly electrophilic and nonpolar, in addition to having high solvation energy values. Let us remark that solvation energies are produced by the intermolecular forces that involve the induced dipoles. Structural and vibrational results show that the X-P bonds are single bonds. Finally, results suggest that the inorganic nanotubes are structurally stable with semiconductor features, which means that their functionalization may yield interesting future applications.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) from fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene are promising carbon allotropes for various applications such as energy-conversion devices and biosensors. Because pristine CNMs show substantial van der Waals interactions and a hydrophobic nature, precipitation is observed immediately in most organic solvents and water. This inevitable aggregation leads to poor processability and diminishes the intrinsic properties of the CNMs. Highly toxic and hazardous chemicals are used for chemical and physical modification of CNMs, even though efficient dispersed solutions are obtained. The development of an environmentally friendly dispersion method for both safe and practical processing is a great challenge. Recent green processing approaches for the manipulation of CNMs using chemical and physical modification are highlighted. A summary of the current research progress on: i) energy-efficient and less-toxic chemical modification of CNMs using covalent-bonding functionality and ii) non-covalent-bonding methodologies through physical modification using green solvents and dispersants, and chemical-free mechanical stimuli is provided. Based on these experimental studies, recent advances and challenges for the potential application of green-processable energy-conversion and biological devices are provided. Finally, a conclusion section is provided summarizing the insights from the present studies as well as some future perspectives.
