A zone‐folding approach is applied to estimate the thermodynamic properties of V 2 O 5 ‐based nanotubes. The results obtained are compared with those from the direct calculations. It is shown that the zone‐folding approximation allows an accurate estimation of nanotube thermodynamic properties and gives a gain in computation time compared to their direct calculations. Both approaches show that temperature effects do not change the relative stability of V 2 O 5 free layers and nanotubes derived from the α‐ and γ‐phase. The internal energy thermal contributions into the strain energy of nanotubes are small and can be ignored. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
