Facet-Dependent Pre-Dissociation of Typical Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Atomic-Scale Mechanisms and Environmental Interfacial Regulation

Dissolution of crystal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) is crucial for determining their environmental fate and toxicity. However, the regulatory roles of intrinsic crystal facets and aqueous conditions in the initial dissolution remain unresolved. Using ZnO as a typical model, this study employed density functional theory (...
