abstract

the aim of this research is preparation of sno2 nanowires by means of thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (tcrvtd) method from sno powders. the morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem), eds, and xrd. the xrd diffraction patterns reveal that the sno2 nanowires have been grown in the form of tetragonal crystal structures with the lattice parameter of a=b=0.440 nm, and c=0.370 nm. the sem images reveal that sno2 nanowires have successfully been grown on the si substrate. the eds patterns show that only elements of sn, o and au are detected. prior to the vls process the substrate is coated by a thin layer of au. the diameter of nanowires is measured to be something between 20-100 nm.

Synthesis and characterization of single-crystalline zinc tin oxide nanowires

Crystalline zinc tin oxide (ZTO; zinc oxide with heavy tin doping of 33 at.%) nanowires were first synthesized using the electrodeposition and heat treatment method based on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane, which has an average diameter of about 60 nm. According to the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) results, the synthesized ZTO nanowires are highly ordered and have...

Improving Gas Sensing Properties of Tin Oxide Nanowires Palladium-Coated Using a Low Cost Technique

Thin films of SnO2 nanowires were successfully prepared by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process on quartz substrates. Afterwards, a thin  layer of palladium (Pd) as a catalyst was coated on top of nanowires. For the deposition of Pd, a simple and low cost technique of spray pyrolysis was employed, which caused an intensive enhancement on the sensing response of fabricated sensors...

The elastic moduli of oriented tin oxide nanowires.

Tin oxide nanowires (NWs) exhibit interesting electronic properties, which can be harnessed for applications in nanoelectronic devices and sensors. Oriented single crystalline tin oxide NWs were grown at 45 degrees from a titanium dioxide substrate. Their elastic properties were investigated in a two-point geometry using an atomic force microscope (AFM) coupled with a scanning electron microsco...

Synthesis and Characterization of Tin Disulfide (SnS2) Nanowires

The ordered tin disulfide (SnS(2)) nanowire arrays were first fabricated by sulfurizing the Sn nanowires, which are embedded in the nanochannels of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. SnS(2) nanowire arrays are highly ordered and highly dense. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns demonstrate the SnS(2) nanowire is hexagonal polycrystalli...
