From: Unravelling the origin of the giant Zn deficiency in wurtzite type ZnO nanoparticles
Evolution of the specific surface area (SBET) of the ZnO-Tf and ZnO-Y%Zn samples with the synthesis temperature (a) and the amount of zinc nitrate (b), respectively. Evolution of experimental densities of all prepared ZnO samples versus their Surface/Volume ratio (c). Scheme of the spherical core shell like model proposed for the Zn deficient ZnO particles with a radius R and a shell r (d). The red line in (c) represents the best fit of the density versus S/V data obtained using this core shell model.
