The semiconductor used here is zinc oxide (zincite), which is obtained by taking a strip of zinc and heating it with a blow torch. This creates spots of zinc oxide on the strip, which can then be ...

Zinc oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and water. Zinc oxide is insoluble in water. State and explain whether zinc oxide is a base, an alkali, or both. Zinc oxide is a base ...

Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and cerium oxide (CeO2), are widely used as catalysts for various chemical reactions, including photocatalysis, water ...
