For the first time, 2D symmetric hydrogenated zinc oxide (H-gZnO) and inorganic graphenylene-like zinc oxide (IGP-ZnO) nanosheets have been proposed computationally. Both nanosheets show be stable, and they retain the semiconducting properties. A van der Waals interaction between the hydrogen atoms on H-gZnO is found. It was theoretically demonstrated that the dehydrogenation of H-gZnO leads to spontaneously convert to the IGP-ZnO. The structural differences between 2D nanosheets can lead to different applications. This theoretical prediction is open to experimentalists and other theoreticians for further studies.

Abstract
For the first time, 2D symmetric hydrogenated zinc oxide (H-gZnO) and inorganic graphenylene-like zinc oxide (IGP-ZnO) nanosheets have been proposed computationally. Both nanosheets show be stable, and they retain the semiconducting properties. A van der Waals interaction between the hydrogen atoms on H-gZnO is found. It was theoretically demonstrated that the dehydrogenation of H-gZnO leads to spontaneously convert to the IGP-ZnO. The structural differences between 2D nanosheets can lead to different applications. This theoretical prediction is open to experimentalists and other theoreticians for further studies.
