ZnO appears yellow upon heating due to the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The optical properties of the nanoparticles can cause a shift in the absorption spectrum, leading to the yellow color. This change in color is often attributed to the quantum confinement effect that occurs at the nanoscale level.
