Oxygen Vacancies in Oxide Nanoclusters: When Silica Is More Reducible Than Titania

Oxygen vacancies are related to specific optical, conductivity and magnetic properties in macroscopic SiO2 and TiO2 compounds. As such, the ease with which oxygen vacancies form often determines the application potential of these materials in many technological fields. However, little is known about...
