Subsolidus phase relationships in the Ga2O3–SnO2–ZnO system were determined at 1250 ◦C using solid state synthesis and X-ray powder diffraction. The two spinels, Zn2SnO4 and ZnGa2O4, formed a complete solid solution. The optical band gap of the spinel varied with composition from 3.6 eV (Zn2SnO4) to 4.7 eV (ZnGa2O4). All samples were white and insulating except those containing Ga-doped ZnO. Th...

In the present research, a simple electrochemical sensor based on carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with ZnO-Zn2SnO4-SnO2 and graphene (ZnO-Zn2SnO4-SnO2/Gr/CPE) was developed for direct, simultaneous individual measurement of Acetaminophen (AC), Caffeine (Caf) Ascorbic acid (AA). The synthesized nanomaterials were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier-t...

High capacity, rapid-charging, and long-term recyclability are the essential characteristics of high-performance lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes, which particularly important in electric vehicle industry. Bimetallic Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles wrapped carbon shells were supersonically sprayed with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets to fabricate binder-free, long-term-stable LIB anodes. The ...

We report the characterization of mixed oxides nanocomposite nanofibers of (1 - x) ZnO-(x)SnO2 (x ≤ 0.45) synthesized by electrospinning technique. The diameter of calcined nanofibers depends on Sn content. Other phases like SnO, ZnSnO3, and Zn2SnO4 were absent. Photoluminescence studies show that there is a change in the blue/violet luminescence confirming the presence of Sn in Zn-rich composi...

The electron transport layer is very critical to the device performance in perovskite solar cells. In this work, we use a solution-processed method prepare uniform Zn2SnO4, SnO2, and ZnO thin films using similar experimental conditions. Perovskite cells (PSCs) based on different transporting layers are fabricated compared. Three energy level alignments produced by realized corresponding bandgap...

We report synthesis of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) stabilized Zn1+xSnO3+x (0 ≤ x ≤1) nano-crystallites by facile cost-effective wet chemistry route. The X-ray diffraction patterns of as-synthesized powders at the Zn/Sn ratio of 1 exhibited formation of ZnSn(OH)6. Increasing the Zn/Sn ratio further resulted in the precipitation of an additional phase corresponding to Zn(OH)2. The deco...
