“…Briefly, in this method, the Sn electrode surface is passivated in the working alkaline medium, removed under anodic potentiostatic conditions, washed with MilliQ water and electrochemically reduced in an ammonia buffer composed by 0.5 M NH 4 Cl and 0.5 M NH 4 OH. In such medium, the cathodic reduction of reference powders SnO, SnO 2 ·nH 2 O and SnO 2 have been identified at potentials of −1.2, −1.5 and −1.7 V vs. SSC respectively and the method has been proven to be a feasible strategy to identify tin oxide products [37]. A set of samples for voltammetric reduction was prepared in 0.1 M NaOH by anodically sweeping the potential to Fig.…”
