abstract = {Zinc acetate in combination with water plays a key role
during the coarsening of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals at
moderate temperature (85 °C) in air. The growth of ZnO
nanocrystals is well known in liquid phase systems, but this
work shows that this process is strongly enhanced in powder
form by the presence of residual acetate. The growth of the
ZnO nanocrystals was documented by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and high resolution transmission electron microscopy
(HRTEM), showing a preferred growth along [0001]
crystallographic direction. An increase of more than $400\%$
in crystal size was observed, which could be related to
coarsening but not due to precipitation from solution. In
contrast, particle size stayed almost constant if pure zinc
oxide powder was used. This growth is expected to slowly
occur during storage even under ambient conditions. The
limited stability of nanopowders limits their applicability
as well as pressing into bulk materials.},
