Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) dissolution in water environment is an important issue with regard to their environmental behaviors. The metal ion dissolves from surface defective site, but the effect of defect abundance remains largely unknown. This study aims to reveal this effect using ZnO NPs an...
