title = "Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet-assisted formation of oxygen vacancies stabilized tetragonal zirconia particles",
abstract = "This study presented a controlled oxygen vacancy formation on stabilization of tetragonal zirconia particles via a nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) with varying the supplied power. The characteristic analyses based on X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Raman, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy confirm the existence of oxygen vacancies in tetragonal zirconia particles. Production of oxygen vacancies in the prepared zirconia powder is related to the presence of surface defects by observing HR-TEM and further decreases the bandgap as indicated by optical characterization. Thus, it can be anticipated that the research of defect engineering is a promising way to improve the optoelectronic and photocatalytic performance of oxide material via the APPJ method.",
