Abstract The DFT wB97XD/6-31G* method was used to calculate Si-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes of various diameters, SiC 119 (NT-1) and SiC 83 (NT-2). The oxygen adsorption on the silicon atom and the oxygen reduction reaction by attaching a proton with further reduction at the cathode were studied as a part of a two- and four-electron mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction. The diagrams of free energy in an acidic and alkaline medium were constructed.
