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, ...

A SnO2 transparent thin-film transistor (TTFT) is demonstrated. The SnO2 channel layer is deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then rapid thermal annealed in O2 at 600 ̊C. The TTFT is highly transparent, and enhancement-mode behaviour is achieved by employing a very thin channel layer (10–20 nm). Maximum field-effect mobilities of 0.8 cm2 V−1 s−1 and 2.0 cm2 V−1 s−1 are obtained for enhancem...

With the objective of developing new advanced composite materials that can be used as anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), herein we describe the synthesis of a novel three dimensional (3D) macroporous foams formed by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and submicron tin-based particles. The aerogels were obtained by freeze/freeze-drying a suspension of graphene oxide (GO) in the presence of a tin...

The H2O splitting mechanism is a very attractive alternative used in electrochemistry for the formation of O3. The most efficient catalysts employed for this reaction at room temperature are SnO2-based, in particular the Ni/Sb-SnO2 catalyst. In order to investigate the H2O splitting mechanism density functional theory (DFT) was performed on a Ni/Sb-SnO2 surface with oxygen vacancies. By calcula...

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...

Metal oxide materials such as tin oxide (SnO2) show powerful gas sensing capabilities. Recently, the deposition of a thin tin oxide film at the backend of a CMOS processing sequence has enabled the manufacture of modern gas sensors. Among several potential deposition methods for SnO2, spray pyrolysis deposition has proven itself to be relatively easy to use and cost effective while providing ex...

In this paper, tin dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a fast and simple co-precipitation method. For SnO2 preparation, we used ammonia as precipitation agent and bis (acetylacetone) ethylene diamineas as capping agent. By changing in SnCl4, acacen mole-ratio different morphologies were obtained. This semiconductor nanostructure has photo-catalyst activities and can ...
