▎ 摘　　要

Semiconductor metal oxides are favorable for their exotic properties like wide band gap, transparency, enhanced charge mobility, and strong luminescence at room temperature. These properties have put metal oxides under limelight, especially ZnO has earned a renowned position in emanate industry for transparent electrodes, electronics, super capacitors, photo-voltaic cells, gas-sensors, and many more. ZnO is not only environmental friendly but also a highly stable and cheap photo catalytic source naturally available in high abundance. First principles calculation is performed to study optoelectronic properties of ZnO. Geometry optimization of graphene like ZnO (G-ZnO) is preformed using generalized gradient approximation along with hybrid functional (GGA-PBE and GGA-PBE + U) to calculate various structural and electronic parameters of G-ZnO. Employing Hubbard (U) parameter improved band gap and c/a ratio calculation as 1.245 eV and 1.613 respectively; also dielectric constant is calculated as 4.58 (U = 15 eV) which is in accordance with the available experimental data.
