Relevance of defects in ZnO nanotubes for selective adsorption of H2S and CO2 gas molecules: Ab-initio investigation

The adsorption of CO2 and H2S gas molecules on pristine and defected ZnO nanotubes (ZnO-NTs) is theoretically investigated using the density-functional theory (DFT). The interactions of each molecule with various sites on the pristine and defected ZnO-NT, with oxygen vacancy “VO” and zinc vacancy “V...
