A Novel Solvothermal Synthesis of High-Surface-Area SnO<SUB>2</SUB> Nanocrystals

Solution Growth and Cathodoluminescence of Novel SnO2 Core−Shell Homogeneous Microspheres

“…It is worth noting that morphologies and sizes of SnO 2 can bring dramatic effects on their properties and applications. A variety of synthesis methods have been introduced, including thermal evaporation, 17 hydrothermal growth, 18,19 solvothermal growth, 20 pulsed laser deposition, 21 template induced growth, 22 and so on to synthesize versatile structures of SnO 2 , such as nanowires, 23,24 nanobelts, 25,26 and heterostructures. 27,28 However, there have been fewer reports in regard to core-shell structures of SnO 2 .…”

In this work, we synthesized novel core−shell microspheres of SnO 2 at a large scale using a simple hydrothermal method at 200 °C with the assistance of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT).…”
