Anomalous oriented attachment growth behavior on SnO2 nanocrystals.

چکیده
This work reports a detailed characterization of an anomalous oriented attachment behaviour for SnO(2) nanocrystals. Our results evidenced an anisotropic growth for two identical <110> directions, which are equivalent according to the SnO(2) crystallographic structure symmetry. A hypothesis is proposed to describe this behaviour.

Self-assembly of SnO2 quantum dots into hierarchically ordered structures assisted by oriented attachment.
Taking SnO2 quantum dots with random orientation as a precursor, NaOH induces self-assembly of SnO2 dots to form the nanowires, side-by-side attachment of which generates hierarchically ordered structures. The multistep oriented attachment mechanism can help to describe the oriented assembly of big nanocrystals.
متن کاملAn olive-shaped SnO2 nanocrystal-based low concentration H2S gas sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity.
Olive-shaped SnO2 nanocrystals were synthesized successfully via a facile hydrothermal route, using tin dichloride hydrate, oxalic acid dihydrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone as reaction precursors, and showed great potential in the large-scale preparation of SnO2 nanocrystals. The prepared SnO2 nanocrystals were characterized using XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and HRTEM, and showed well-defined olive-shaped...
متن کاملUnderstanding the oriented-attachment growth of nanocrystals from an energy point of view: a review.
Since Penn et al. first discovered the oriented attachment growth of crystals, the oriented attachment mechanism has now become a major research focus in the crystal field, and extensive efforts have been carried out over the past decade to systematically investigate the growth mechanism and the statistical kinetic models. However, most of the work mainly focuses on the experimental results on ...
متن کاملElectronic grade and flexible semiconductor film employing oriented attachment of colloidal ligand-free PbS and PbSe nanocrystals at room temperature.
Electronic grade semiconductor films have been obtained via the sintering of solution processed PbS and PbSe nanocrystals at room temperature. Prior attempts to achieve similar films required the sintering of nanocrystals at higher temperatures (>350 °C), which inhibits the processing of such films on a flexible polymer substrate, and it is also expensive. We reduced the sintering temperature b...
متن کاملOctahedral tin dioxide nanocrystals as high capacity anode materials for Na-ion batteries.
Single crystalline SnO2 nanocrystals (~60 nm in size) with a uniform octahedral shape were synthesised using a hydrothermal method. Their phase and morphology were characterized by XRD and FESEM observation. TEM and HRTEM analyses identified that SnO2 octahedral nanocrystals grow along the [001] direction, consisting of dominantly exposed {221} high energy facets. When applied as anode material...
