Powders of nanocrystalline metal oxides were compared with common macrocrystalline powders and minerals for their ability to reflect near-infrared light (NIR) (750−2500 nm). The nanocrystalline metal oxides were found to possess higher NIR reflectance values (∼15−20%) and this can be attributed to their smaller crystallite sizes coupled with smaller mean aggregate sizes in accordance ...

The interaction of water with ZnO nanoparticles has been studied by means of diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and ultra-high vacuum FTIR spectroscopy (UHV-FTIRS). Exposing clean ZnO powder to water at 323 K leads to both molecular and dissociative adsorption of H 2 O forming a number of hydroxyl species. All the OH bands are clearly identified by the adsorption of D 2 O ...
