The present work investigates the effect of adsorbate CO molecule on magnetism in the imperfect graphene-like ZnO through first-principles calculations. It is found that the magnetism in an undoped ZnO monolayer with a defect could be effectively tuned just by an adsorbate CO molecule. The graphene-like ZnO with a Zn vacancy shows the ferromagnetism, while a CO molecule is adsorbed on the imperfect graphene-like ZnO monolayer, the charge space redistribution and hybridization result in the ferromagnetism disappearing and the ZnO monolayer becomes nonmagnetic. However, the ZnO monolayer containing an O vacancy transfers from a nonmagnetic state to a magnetic state with 2μ\(_{\text{B}}\) magnetic moment, when the imperfect ZnO monolayer was adsorbed by a CO molecule. This magnetic change is attributed to the charge transfer between CO molecule and the defect ZnO monolayer. In addition, the ground state for the graphene-like ZnO with two oxygen vacancies adsorbed by two CO molecules with various distance alw...
