Strain and support effects on phase transition and surface reactivity of ultrathin ZnO films: DFT insights

Strain and support effects play a crucial role in heterogeneous catalysis, which has been intensively studied over metal-based catalysts. In contrast, there is little discussion about the two effects in oxide systems. In this work, using an ultrathin ZnO film as an example, we investigate strain and...
