Literature has reported that at the ensemble level, the PL of photoexcited OHP nanorods declines under an inert nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) atmosphere and recovers under subsequent exposure to oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>). At the single-particle level, we observed that OHP nanorods photoblink at rates dependent on both the excitation intensity and the O<sub>2</sub> concentration. Combining the two sets of information with the charge-trapping/detrapping mechanism, we are able to quantitatively evaluate the interaction between a single surface defect and a single O<sub>2</sub> molecule using a new kinetic model. The model predicts that the photodarkening of OHP nanorods in the N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere has a different mechanism than conventional PL quenching, which we call photo-knockout. This model provides fundamental insights into the interactions of molecular O<sub>2</sub> with OHP materials and helps design a suitable OHP interface for a variety of applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics.
