Thin nanocomposite films composed of ZnO and SnO2 at 0.5–5 mol.% concentrations were synthesized by a new solid-phase low-temperature pyrolysis under the developed protocols. This hetero-oxide material was thoroughly studied X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Auger (AES) techniques to be compared with electrical gas-sensing pro...

Electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate is a promising approach store renewable electricity and utilize CO2. Tin oxide catalysts are efficient for this process, while the mechanisms underneath, especially existence role of oxidized tin species under electroreduction conditions remain unclear. In work, we provide strong evidence on presence both SnO2 Sn during via in situ surface-enhanced Raman...

Non-conventional crystallization techniques have been developed in recent years. use primary structural elements (for example, clusters) rather than atoms and molecules. Modern nanomaterial science is going through great changes as an entirely new approach of non-conventional growth mechanisms emerging due to cluster coupling, catalyzing interest physics. The formation fractal percolation clust...

Interfacial engineering has been considered as an effective technique to improve the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, interface between tin oxide (SnO2) film and fluorine-doped (FTO) glass is dealt with a piranha solution, resulting in more hydroxyl groups on surface FTO glass. SnO2 fabricated by spin-coating SnCl2·2H2O precursor. Our results demonstrate that exh...

This study investigated the application of an advanced electrooxidation process with three-dimensional tin oxide deposited onto a titanium plate anode, named 3-D Ti/SnO2, for degradation and mineralization one most important emerging contaminants cytostatic properties, doxorubicin (DOX). The anode was synthesized using commercial Ti plate, corrosion control in acidic medium, used as substrate S...

CO2 conversion into high-value-added products is becoming increasingly attractive to find substitutes for fossil-based ones and tackle the environmental crisis. Herein, a noble, simple, reproducible, scalable Cu2O-SnO2 photo-electrocatalyst was synthesized characterized. Coupling cuprous oxide with tin allowed protecting unstable Cu+1 species from photo-corrosion. Evidence of SnO2 stabilization...
