Almost perfect embedding of SnO2 nanocrystallites in carbon nanopores was achieved by in situ synthesis using vaporized SnCl2 and silica opal-derived nanoporous carbons. The reversibility of SnO2-Sn conversion and Sn-Li alloying/de-alloying reactions was greatly enhanced by the confinement in regulated carbon nanospace.

Alloy electrode material like tin dioxide (SnO2) possesses much higher specific capacity as compared to commercial graphite anode in lithium ion battery (783 vs 372 mAh g(-1)). However, the huge volume change (260%) of SnO2-based anode during the alloying and dealloying process can cause significant electrode pulverization and rapid capacity loss. Herein we report the synthesis of SnO2 asymmetr...

Structural changes of a variety of different SnO, SnO2 and GeO2 catalysts upon reduction in hydrogen were correlated with associated catalytic changes in methanol steam reforming. Studied systems include SnO, SnO2 and GeO2 thin film model catalysts prepared by vapour phase deposition and growth on polycrystalline NaCl surfaces and, for comparison, the corresponding pure oxide powder catalysts. ...

In the present work, ZnO/Bi2O3, SnO2/Bi2O3/Bi2O4 mixed oxide, Bi2O3 rod-like and SnO2 nanoparticle have been synthesized. The obtained samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical properties of samples were evaluated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by decolorization o...

Nanotechnology is anticipated to open novel opportunities to prevent and fight against diseases using atomic scale tailoring of materials [1-3]. In the field of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanoparticles of different sizes, shape, chemical compositions and controlled morphology with high dispersityis essential because they exhibit unique properties, which are not observed in bulk materials ...

We report an rGO/Fe2O3/SnO2 ternary nanocomposite synthesized via homogeneous precipitation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto graphene oxide (GO) followed by reduction of GO with SnCl2. The reduction mechanism of GO with SnCl2 and the effects of reduction temperature and time were examined. Accompanying the reduction of GO, particles of SnO2 were deposited on the GO surface. In the graphene nanocompo...

The development of alternative anode materials out of flexible composite nanofibers has seen a growing interest. In this paper, binary carbon nanofiber electrodes of SnO2/NiO and Sn nanoparticles are produced using a scalable technique, Forcespinning (FS), and subsequent thermal treatment (carbonization). The Sn/C composite nanofibers were porous and flexible, while the SnO2/NiO composite nanof...

Tin oxide nanoparticles have been prepared by conventional sol-gel technique. Research grade tin chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) was used as tin and zinc sources. Ethylene glycol and alcohol were used as solvents under different synthesis conditions. Transparent un-doped SnO2 sol was prepared after continuous stirring and refluxing at 40C. Thin films, prepared from SnO2 sol, have also been deposited on g...
