Hydrothermal synthesis of novel Zn2SnO4 octahedron microstructures assembled with hexagon nanoplates

Bismuth tungstate nano/microstructures: Controllable morphologies, growth mechanism and photocatalytic properties

“…The corresponding reaction takes place as in Eq. (5). The long diffusion free path makes the reactants reach rapidly the high energy surfaces to present the preferential and directional growth of Bi 2 WO 6 in the (0 2 0) direction.…”

“…In recent years, the morphology and size controlled synthesis of materials have attracted much attention due to their unique chemical and physical properties that are relevant to the shape and size [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Considerable efforts have been devoted to synthesize novel nano-and microstructured materials with various morphologies, such as low-dimensional structures (e.g., rods [7], wires [8,9], belts [10], tubes [11]) and hierarchical structures (e.g., branches [12], urchins [13], hollow spheres [14,15]), for their specific properties and corresponding potential applications.…”

Synthesis and Electrical Characterization of Zinc Stannate (Zto) Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

“…However if the SnO 2 concentration is increased further, the electrical resistivity also increases and the cubic Zn 2 SnO 4 spinel-type phase appears as a secondary phase. The Zn 2 SnO 4 (ZTO) spinel phase has been synthesized as nanosized particles with different shapes [6][7][8][9] , however few little data has been found regarding the electrical behaviour properties of the pure phase. Reported data on ZTO thin films 10 show that their electrical resistivity is on the order of 10 −2 Ωcm as is also reported for ZnO films.…”

Fabrication of nanocubic ZnO/SnO2 film-based humidity sensor with high sensitivity by ultrasonic-assisted solution growth method at different Zn:Sn precursor ratios

“…Various types of ZnO/SnO 2 nanostructure have been reported, such as sphere (Fan et al 2011), hexagon (Ji et al 2010), cubic (Lu et al 2012a) and rods (Jin et al 2012). These factors are favorable in enhancing sensing performance.…”

“…The composition, morphology and performance are correlated to provide high-performance sensor (Ji et al 2010). Different morphology structure of ZnO-SnO 2 has been developed, such as wire (Fouad et al 2008), rod (Sun et al 2011), cones (Sun et al 2012) and flower-like structure ) using various methods including co-precipitations (Lin and Chiang 2012), thermal evaporation (Acharya et al 2012), hydrothermal (Wang et al 2007b) and sol-gel method (Martínez et al 2012).…”
