Tin was deposited in the amount of 0.4 and 0.8 nm onto CeO2(111) surface by molecular beam deposition at the temperature of 520 K. The interaction of tin with cerium oxide was studied with use of XPS, UPS and RPES (Resonant Photoelectron Spectroscopy). The strong tin – ceria interaction led to the Ce(4-nx)+Snxn+O22compound formation. It was accompanied with partial reduction of CeO2 observed as...

Powders and films composed of tin dioxide (SnO2) are promising candidates for a variety high-impact applications, despite the material’s prevalence in such studies, it remains high importance that commercially available materials meet quality demands industries these would most benefit. Imaging techniques, as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force (AFM), were used conjunction with Ram...

Tin oxide (SnO2) semiconductor is recognized as a highly promising material for the electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells (PSC) due to their wide band gap energy and high mobility. This has been considered potential alternative substituting conventional titanium dioxide (TiO2). In form of nanostructure material, it expected that SnO2 ETL PSC device can be significantly improv...

Abstract In this paper, tin-carbon composites were prepared by the hot carbon reduction method and used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The results show that can effectively reduce SnO2 to spherical metallic tin, excess of affects size shape tin particles. higher content is, lithium intercalation potential material is. improvement cyclic stability is at expense reversible capacity...

In this study, the coating technique was used to prepare thin layers of nickel and aluminum-codoped tin oxide (SnO2: Ni; Al). This study is aimed at exploring influence aluminum (Al) dopant on structural, optical, electrical properties elaborated films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies discovered that all deposited films (Ni-doped Al-Ni-codoped SnO2) were polycrystalline with tetragonal (quadrat...

The integration of gas sensing elements into hand-held electronics will provide individuals the ability to detect harmful chemicals and pollutants in the environment in real time. Metal oxide gas sensors rely on changes in their electrical conductance due to the interaction of the oxide with a surrounding gas at an elevated temperature. The intrinsic stress in the metal oxide films during the l...

Miniaturized electronic noses to rapidly detect and differentiate trace amount of chemical agents are extremely attractive. Use of tin oxide nanoparticles as sensing elements has been proved to significantly improve both the response time and the sensitivity of gas sensors or electronic noses. In this paper, we report the synthesis of pure tin oxide nanoparticles using a simple, convenient, and...
