Zinc oxide powders made by mechanical high-energy grinding have been investigated using the methods of scanning electron microscopy, thermal nitrogen desorption, and Raman spectroscopy of infrared Fourier spectroscopy. Their structural evolution, including reduction of the average size of crystallites, increase in specific surface area, as well as changes in the number and ratio of adsorption centers, has been demonstrated. The data on the reconstruction of the surface of zinc oxide powders and multiple bond breaking in near-surface areas resulting from long-term dispersion have been presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
