Why most nano metal oxides have various colours, not black?

03 March 2016 1 1K Report

we know that nano metal particles are black, why most nano metal oxides have various colours, not black.

look up absorption of light by insulating and semiconducting materials. The concept of coloration is in general case quite simple.
