KOH promotes higher nucleation rates, resulting in smaller particles with greater surface areas, whereas NaOH leads to fewer nucleation events and thus larger, less agglomerated particles. This trend is supported by the observed increase in the τ₁ lifetime, which rises from approximately 202 ps (NaOH 2 M) to about 219 ps (KOH 2 M), indicating a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies in the KOH-synthesized sample.
