Highlights on advances in SnO2 quantum dots: insights into synthesis strategies, modifications and applications

“…Tin dioxide (SnO 2 ), a kind of n-type semiconductor with wide-band-gap (E g = 3.64 eV at 300 K), has very wide applications in the fields of gas sensors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) [11,12], photocatalytic degradations [13,14] and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) [15][16][17][18][19], photodetectors [20] and heterojunction diode [21]. The wide applications of SnO 2 are greatly benefited from the synthesis methods in its nanostructured materials with different sizes and novel morphologies.…”

“…The wide applications of SnO 2 are greatly benefited from the synthesis methods in its nanostructured materials with different sizes and novel morphologies. Nanostructured SnO 2 with various morphologies, such as three-dimensional nanospheres [22][23][24], twodimensional nanofilms [21,[25][26][27][28] or nanosheets [29,30], and one-dimensional nanowires [20] or nanorods [29][30][31][32] has been successfully fabricated and played an important role in their applications. When the size of the SnO 2 nanoparticles reduces to 1-10 nm, the unique physical and chemical properties will make prominent due to quantum size effect [33].…”
