Oxygen dynamic exchange and diffusion characteristics of ZnO nanorods from 17O MAS NMR†
Abstract
Interactions of ZnO nanorods with water and the dynamic migration characteristic of surface oxygen species are important in controlling its structure and catalytic properties. Here, we apply 17O solid-state NMR spectroscopy to investigate the interactions, as well as oxygen ion diffusion properties of ZnO nanorods under different conditions.
