A major disadvantage of energy saving glass using tin oxide (SnO2) thin film is that SnO2 attenuates the mobile signal from passing through it. In order to improve such signal transmission, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structures are designed on SnO2 thin film. In this paper, SnO2 thin film with FSS structure was fabricated using combination of printed circuit board technology and reacti...

One-dimensional (1D) SnO2 nanostructures, as n-type semiconductors with a wide band gap, exhibit unique photoelectric properties that offer potential applications in electronic, photoelectric, gas sensing, and energy generation devices. A detailed study of template-free reaction systems is essential to regulate efficiently synthesise 1DSnO2 nanostructures. This employed the hydrothermal method ...

The precursors of SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystlline powders have been prepared by the sol-precipitation method. The precursors were calcined at different temperatures to prepare SnO2 or In2O3/SnO2 nanocrystalline powders with different particle sizes. The nanocrystallites were examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An...

0.1016/j.nanoen.2 lsevier Ltd. All rig thors. : [email protected] Abstract Core–shell structured hollow SnO2–polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (SnO2@PPy) with excellent electrochemical performance were synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by an in situ chemical-polymerization route. The thickness of the polymerized amorphous PPy coating covering on the hollow SnO2 microspheres is abou...

The morphology-controlled synthesis of SnO2 hollow/nanoporous nanostructures (nanotubes, urchin-like morphologies and nanospheres) was achieved via a template-engaged replacement reaction at a mild temperature (lower than 80 °C). The formation mechanism of hollow interior and nanoporous walls for the obtained SnO2 nanostructures (SnO2 nanotubes were used as an example) was investigated based on...

Photoconductivities of monocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanowires (NWs) with layered orthorhombic structure grown by physical vapor deposition (PVD) have been investigated from the points of view of device and material. Optimal responsivity and gain for single-NW photodetector are at 7,900 A W-1 and 30,000, respectively. Intrinsic photoconduction (PC) efficiency (i.e., normalized gain)...

Pure SnO2 and Y-doped SnO2 nanobelts were prepared by thermal evaporation at 1350 °C in the presence of Ar carrier gas (30 sccm). The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (F...
