In this work, the interaction of GaN nanotube (GaNNT) with common air pollutants of industrialized cities, such as NH, NO and SO in different configurations was studied. For this study, the single-walled (10,0) GaNNT was used. The analysis was done via the density functional theory implemented in the SIESTA simulation software.

The results show that for the CrO interacting with the GaNNT, the structure was locally deformed. However, in case of FeCl adsorbed with the GaNNT, the structure remained practically the same with the negligible deformation observed on tube surface.

The relaxed structure as well as the electronic band structure were obtained. Results reveals that Li insertion modifies the band structure by shifting the Fermi energy to conduction band.
