Oxygen Adsorption on Polar and Non-Polar Zn:ZnO Heterostructures from First Principles

Zn:ZnO nanostructures have been studied extensively due to their potential use in many applications, such as oxygen scavengers for food packaging applications. Under atmospheric conditions, ZnO grows on the surface of Zn via an oxidation process. The mechanisms governing Zn oxidation are still not f...
