Nano-adsorbents are emerging as potential candidates for the treatment of toxic organic pollutants. In this context, spherical SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without usage...

Reducing the working temperature and increasing sensitivity selectivity has always been a research hotspot in field of MOS based gas sensors. In this work, improved triethylamine (TEA) sensing performance mechanism SnO2 by doping Pd have investigated. nanoparticles Pd-SnO2 with different amounts (0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%) were successfully prepared hydrothermal method. The size is very unifor...

Tin dioxide (SnO2) possesses great potential as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high theoretical specific capacity. However, the irreversible conversion of Sn SnO2 and enormous volume variation during charge/discharge process limit battery energy storage performance. In this study, ultrafine NiO nanoparticles (NPs) decorated on a three-dimensionally (3D) intercon...

Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of a tin metal sheet in a nonaqueous electrolyte containing NH4F. The as-prepared nanoparticles were then thermally annealed at 700 C for 6 h. The resulting particles were characterized by a variety of experimental techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman, ...

We fabricated nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensors with p-type carbon nanotubes (CNTs) / n-type tin (SnO2) nanoparticle heterojunctions using one-step dielectrophoretic assembly and investigated the effect of CNT/SnO2 ratio on their NO2 detection properties. CNTs SnO2 nanoparticles were mixed in various ratios, suspended deionized water, assembled by dielectrophoresis. The normalized response het...

In this study, tin oxide /reduced graphene (SnO2/rGO) samples were prepared by hydrothermal method. The structural characteristics, phase composition, morphology, and size of the studied X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that SnO2 nanoparticles had tetragonal rutile crystal structure with a ranging from 4.65 nm to 5.77 when pH was inc...

Nanocrystalline SnO2 core and ZnO as well as SiO2 shells coated core shell nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. The as prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, UV-Visible absorption, PL, FESEM, HRTEM with EDX measurements. The X-ray analysis showed that the obtained SnO2 core with tetragonal rutile crystalline structure and the shel...

Tin dioxide (SnO2), an n-type semiconductor with a wide band gap of 3.6 eV, has been widely used in photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes, photovoltaic devices, rechargeable lithium batteries, and so on. In particular, remarkable receptivity to variations in gaseous environments and excellent chemical stability have made SnO2 the bestknown gas-sensing material. Over the past decades, consi...

Proteins adsorbed on nanoparticles (NPs) are being used in biotechnology, biosensors and drug delivery. However, understanding the effect of NPs on the structure of proteins is still in a nascent state. In the present paper tin oxide (SnO2) NPs were synthesized by the reaction of SnCl4·5H2O in methanol via the sol-gel method and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrar...
