Abstract
Given that adsorption is widely regarded as a favorable technique for hydrogen storage, it is appropriate to pursue the development of suitable adsorbent materials for industrial storage. This study aimed to assess the potential of Fe-doped carbon nanotubes (FeCNT) as a remarkable material for hydrogen storage. The structures of pure and Fe-doped CNTs were optimized based on quantum mechanical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) method. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the adsorption behavior, Monte Carlo simulation was employed to investigate the adsorption of hydrogen molecules on FeCNT. The study specifically examined the impact of temperature, pressure, and hydrogen mole percentage on the adsorption capacity of FeCNT. The findings indicated that the uptake of hydrogen increased as the pressure increased, and when the pressure exceeded 5 MPa, FeCNT reached a state of near saturation. At room temperature and pressures of 1 and 5 MPa, the hydrogen capacities of FeCNT were determined to be 1.53 and 6.92 wt%, respectively. The radial distribution function diagrams confirmed the formation of a one-layer adsorption phase at pressures below 5 MPa. A comparison of the temperature dependence of hydrogen adsorption between FeCNT and pure CNT confirmed the effectiveness of Fe doping in hydrogen storage up to room temperature. FeCNT exhibited a greater reduction in initial hydrogen capacity at temperatures above room temperature. To evaluate the safety of the system, the use of N2 as a dilution agent was investigated by examining the hydrogen uptake of FeCNT from pure and H2/N2 mixtures at 300 K. The results showed that the addition of N2 to the environment had no significant effect on FeCNT hydrogen storage at pressures below 4 MPa. Furthermore, the study of H2 selectivity from the H2/N2 mixture indicated that FeCNT demonstrated a preference for adsorbing H2 over a wide range of bulk mole fractions at pressures of 4 and 5 MPa, suggesting that these pressures could be considered optimal. Under these conditions, Fe doping can offer an efficient and selective adsorption surface for hydrogen storage.

Abstract
In this review article, we have presented a detailed analysis of the recent advancement of quantum mechanical calculations in the applications of the low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) into biomedical fields like biosensors and drug delivery systems development. Biosensors play an essential role for many communities, e.g. law enforcing agencies to sense illicit drugs, medical communities to remove overdosed medications from the human and animal body etc. Besides, drug delivery systems are theoretically being proposed for many years and experimentally found to deliver the drug to the targeted sites by reducing the harmful side effects significantly. In current COVID-19 pandemic, biosensors can play significant roles, e.g. to remove experimental drugs during the human trials if they show any unwanted adverse effect etc. where the drug delivery systems can be potentially applied to reduce the side effects. But before proceeding to these noble and expensive translational research works, advanced theoretical calculations can provide the possible outcomes with considerable accuracy. Hence in this review article, we have analyzed how theoretical calculations can be used to investigate LDNs as potential biosensor devices or drug delivery systems. We have also made a very brief discussion on the properties of biosensors or drug delivery systems which should be investigated for the biomedical applications and how to calculate them theoretically. Finally, we have made a detailed analysis of a large number of recently published research works where theoretical calculations were used to propose different LDNs for bio-sensing and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Pd doped single-walled carbon nanotubes as an enhanced physical transducer with phenylalanine amino acid can be efficiently used as a biocompatible nanoreceptor to detect proteins. DFT/B3LYP was used to calculate the optimized geometries, energies and electron density parameters to determine the stability and reactivity of the nanoreceptor. Among different adsorbed configurations of phenylalanine, the amine and carboxylic acid sites have higher adsorption energies and more stable complexes. With direct strong chemical adsorption of phenylalanine amino acid onto the Pd doped single-walled carbon nanotube, the free active carboxylic acid group of the amino acid can react with free amine groups on the surface of the proteins. More over the π-π stacking interaction between the free aromatic ring of adsorbed phenylalanine amino acid onto the functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube and the aromatic rings of the proteins also contributes to the intelligent detection of proteins. Frontier molecular orbital and molecular electrostatic potential (MPE) surface studies have been employed to investigate the active sites of the nanoreceptor. The effects of different solvents on the structural and electronic properties were investigated. Finally, in order to investigate biological function of the biosensor, docking studies were performed.

Abstract
Binding energies ([Formula: see text], geometric and electronic structures for [[Formula: see text]](O/[[Formula: see text]]) additions of O atom on ([Formula: see text])([Formula: see text] − 10) single-walled carbon nanotubes with di-vacancies are studied using a GGA-PBE method, and defect curvature ([Formula: see text]) is used to predict reactivities of different C—C bonds at defect area. Calculated results show that the C—C bonds can be divided into two types: broken C—C bonds corresponding to adducts with a C—O—C configuration structure and unbroken C—C bonds corresponding to adducts with a closed-3MR structure. [Formula: see text] of O/[[Formula: see text]] additions for the adduct with the C—O—C configuration structure monotonously increases with the increase of [Formula: see text] in any ([Formula: see text],0)([Formula: see text]) tube and decreases with the increase of [Formula: see text] in ([Formula: see text],0)([Formula: see text], 7, 10) tubes. Besides the fact that [Formula: see text] value is mainly determined by the defect curvature, it is also affected by band gaps, bonding characteristic of C—C bonds in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and geometric structures. The study would provide a theoretical basis for surface modifications of carbon nanotubes with atomic vacancy defects.

Abstract
Loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the midbrain causes Parkinson's disease. L-DOPA, the precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine, crosses vast majority of physiological and biochemical barriers that dopamine cannot. But most levodopa is decarboxylated to dopamine before it reaches the brain. This causes to little therapeutic gain with strong peripheral side effects. Benserazide is an irreversible inhibitor of peripheral aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase that prevents the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream. The challenges are to increase the therapeutic efficiency, the bioavailability and decreasing the unfavourable side effects of Levodopa drug. Biocompatible nano-sized drug carriers could address these challenges at molecular level. Thus calculations of drug loading ability of acid-functionalized CNT for the benserazide as a nanodug carrier complex for L-DOPA were performed. In this regard, evaluation of all adsorption features of the most stable conformer of benserazide molecule onto carboxylated carbon nanotube is critical. To determine the minimum energy conformer of benserazide, the molecular structure and conformational analysis of 512 possible conformers have been subjected to first principle quantum mechanical calculations. Our work established a novel and easy-to-make formulation of benserazide/carboxylated CNT conjugate with extremely high drug loading efficiency of Levodopa for Parkinson disease treatment.

Abstract
Functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is necessitated in a number of conditions such as drug delivery, and here amino acid functionalization of SWCNTs is conducted within the framework of density functional theory. Functionalization efficiencies of Gly are largely determined by dopants, as a combined effect of atomic radius, electronic configuration, and distortion to SWCNTs. Different functionalization sites in Gly have divergent interaction strengths with M/SWCNTs that decline as Ob > N > Oa, and this trend seems almost independent of the identity of metallic dopants. B/SWCNT behaves distinctly and prefers to the N site. Dopants affect principally interaction strengths, while amino acids regulate significantly both functionalization configurations and interaction energies. Then focus is given to stabilization of zwitterionic amino acids due to enhanced interactions with the widely used zwitterionic drugs. All metallic dopants render zwitterionic Gly to be the most stable, and side chains in amino acids rather than dopants in M/SWCNTs cause more pronounced effects to zwitterionic stabilizations. Charge transfers between amino acids and M/SWCNTs are closely associated with zwitterionic stabilization effects, and different charge transfer mechanisms between M/SWCNTs and metal ions are interpreted. Thus, this work provides a comprehensive understanding of amino acid functionalization of M/SWCNTs.
