Large scale synthesis of flower-like SnO2 nanostructures via a facile hydrothermal route

Hydrothermal synthesis of novel flower-needle NiO architectures: Structure, growth and gas response

“…The junctions fabricated by one-dimensional needles may be formed on condition that the rejection effect formed by the oxalate is less than the driving force of eliminating surface energy. It can be considered as the active sites that can improve the amount of the adsorption of gas molecule and then enhance the gas sensing properties of the architectures [10].…”

“…Over the past few years, it has been well known that nanomaterials with novel morphologies always exhibit excellent functional properties and extensive potential applications resulting from their unique architectures [7][8][9]. In particular, three-dimensional architectures assembled by low-dimensional nanoscale building blocks of metal oxide may exhibit unique functional properties, which can be applied to further enhance the gas response of individual low-dimensional structures, and hence are of the great interest in current researches [10].…”

Hydrothermal self-assembly of novel porous flower-like SnO 2 architecture and its application in ethanol sensor

“…Such reaction retrieves the trapped electrons back to the conduction band, so the resistance decreases. When the ethanol gas is removed, oxygen molecules will be re-absorbed on the surface of SnO 2 to refresh the gas sensor [33]. For the compact SnO 2 nanoflower, it is difficult for the tested gas molecules to diffuse into the inner of the sensing layer of closed structure, thus sensing reactions can only happen on the outer surface of the materials.…”

Photo-catalyst tin dioxide: synthesis and characterization different morphologies of SnO2 nanostructures and nanocomposites

“…For preparation SnO 2 particles and films both chemical and physical methods have been widely investigated such as sol-gel [27], chemical vapour deposition [28], magnetron sputtering [29], thermal decomposition [30], laser ablation technique [31], microwave heating [32], high-energy ball milling [33], hydrothermal synthesis [34] and sono-chemical method [35].…”
