Abstract:Pt-deposited ZrO2−x with monoclinic or tetragonal were synthesized. More oxygen vacancies were created in Pt/tetragonal ZrO2−x, whereas higher photocatalytic activity in H2 production was obtained in Pt/monoclinic ZrO2−x.
As nanocrystalline particles exhibit complex disorder, assessment of local disorder at nanoscale due to implanted lattice defects plays a crucial role in understanding the structure-function relationship of a nanocrystal. In...
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.
