“…Besides, the above points suggest that the grain boundary acts as a ''carrier'' of adsorbed oxygen and negatively charged defects. 24,26,28 It is deduced that the electron at the surface of the ZnO grain is prone to be captured by the positive charge inside the ZnO grain when no grain boundary is built between the ZnO grains. In a word, SrZnO 2 acts as a grain boundary ''skeleton'' to induce j B , which is similar to Bi 2 O 3 .…”
