Details of the geometric structures and adsorption energies of the H2O molecules on the ZnO nanotube surface have been investigated, Our computational results demonstrate that the formation of hydrogen bonding between the H2O molecules and the ZnO nanotube, and adsorption energies of the H2O molecules on the ZnO nanotube are larger than the adsorption energies of other gas molecules present in the atmospheric environment. Moreover, the current-voltage curves of the ZnO nanotube with and without H2O molecules adsorbed on its surface are calculated, the results of which showed that the H2O molecules form stable adsorption configurations that could lead to the decrease in current. These results suggest that the single-walled ZnO nanotubes are able to detect and monitor the presence of H2O molecules by applying bias voltages.展开更多
