Formatted abstract Amonia borane (AB) has been identified as a potential candidate highcapacity
hydrogen storage material. This work probes the adsorption and dissociation
of AB inside and outside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) within the
framework of density functional theory. The dissociation barriers of AB have been
calculated and compared with that of the isolated AB molecule. On the basis of the
present calculations, no notable improvement results from SWCNT confinement; on
the contrary, the dissociation barrier slightly increases with respect to isolated AB.
