Adsorption of O2, H2, CO, NH3, and NO2 on ZnO Nanotube: A Density Functional Theory Study
Abstract
Using density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of a prototype ZnO (6,0) zigzag single-walled nanotube (SWNT) with and without oxygen vacancy (V O ), as well as its potential application as a sensor for gas molecules O 2, H 2, CO, NH 3, and NO 2 . The DFT calculation shows that the defect-free ZnO (6,0) SWNT is semiconducting with a direct band gap larger than that of bulk ZnO. By introducing the V O defects, localized impurity states are induced above the valence band maximum while the Fermi level is lifted. As such, the defect-containing ZnO (6,0) SWNT becomes an n -type semiconductor. On the sidewall of a defect-free ZnO (6,0) SWNT, O 2 and H 2 molecules are physisorbed while CO, NH 3, and NO 2 are molecularly chemisorbed. With the V O defects, the binding interaction between gas molecules and the ZnO nanotube becomes stronger. The electron-donor molecules (CO and NH 3 ) tend to enhance the concentration of major carriers (electrons), whereas the electron-acceptor molecules (O 2 and NO 2 ) tend to reduce the concentration. Moreover, we find that O 2 and NO 2 can dissociate at the V O sites through filling the V O with one atomic O originated from the adsorbates. The dissociation of O 2 is exothermic and barrierless while the dissociation of NO 2 is also exothermic but entails a small activation barrier (0.49 eV).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
