Oxidation Temperature Dependence of the Structural, Optical and Electrical Properties of SnO2 Thin Films

Uniformly Spherical and Monodisperse Antimony- and Zinc-Doped Tin Oxide Nanoparticles for Optical and Electronic Applications

“…However, a major limitation regarding the use of bulk SnO 2 -based materials as photocatalysts is the confinement of their absorbance to only the UV region due to their large band gap. Bulk SnO 2 is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap, E g , of 3.6 eV at 300 K, which corresponds to a wavelength of 344 nm. , Thus, their optical activity is restricted to only 5% of the solar spectrum that reaches the surface of the earth. Notably for these materials, photocatalysis does noes not occur under daylight or conventional light sources, as UV wavelengths are not present, which restricts the practical uses of materials based on pure SnO 2 as photocatalysts.…”

Long-Life and pH-Stable SnO2-Coated Au Nanoparticles for SHINERS

“…The porosity of the shell could explain the presence of pinholes even in SHINs with the thickest coatings at 80 °C. 50 …”

“…SHINs with thinner shells obtained at pH 3.5 present a larger enhancement of the Raman signal as the distance between the plasmonic nanoparticles is shorter; however, pinholes are detected in those cases (Figure S4). The porosity of the shell could explain the presence of pinholes even in SHINs with the thickest coatings at 80 °C …”

Effect of the Substrate Temperature on the Properties of SnO₂ Thin Films Prepared by Ultrasonic Spray for Solar Cells Applications

“…SnO2 is the only oxide of group IV which exhibits the TCOs properties i.e., transparency in the visible range and a relatively good conductivity [2]. Tin dioxide (SnO2) has been widely used in many applications such as catalysts [3,4], gas sensors [5,6,7], heat reflecting mirrors [8,9], varistors [10,11], transparent electrodes for solar cells [12,13,14] and various optoelectronic devices [15]. Several techniques have been developed for producing SnO2 semiconductor films such as evaporation [16,17], sputtering [18], pulsed laser ablation [19], spray pyrolysis [20,21], painting [22], magnetron sputtering tehnique [23], hydrothermal method [24] and sol-gel technique [25].…”
