• One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures: Solution growth and functional properties (2011, background): “attributed this high activity, however, to the correlation between the proportion of exposed polar surfaces and the surface oxygen vacancy density, since oxygen vacancies help to trap the photogenerated electrons and thus assist the charge separation [324].”
• Chemistry, Biochemistry of Nanoparticles, and Their Role in Antioxidant Defense System in Plants (2015, background): “Studies revealed that the photocatalytic activity and ROS generation by nZnO are related to its morphology: greater exposure of polar faces leads to higher surface oxygen vacancy that could trap electrons and produce free radicals like HO• (Li et al. 2008; Mclaren et al. 2009).”
