High-temperature annealing of ZnO nanoparticles increases the dissolution magnitude and rate in water by altering O vacancy distribution

The effects and mechanism of high-temperature annealing, a frequently-used strategy to modulate the properties of nanoparticles (NPs), on the dissolution of zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs are investigated in this study. The results show that annealing increases the ZnO NPs dissolution magnitude via increasing...
