“…Figure 3 displays the Raman spectra of pure SnO2, FTO, and Cu/FTO. There are three fundamental Raman scattering peaks in good agreement with those of rutile SnO2 single crystal [7]. For pure SnO2, the characteristic and strong band at 625 cm −1 is attributed to A1g vibration mode of SnO2.…”

“…After doping F ions, the dominant bands of SnO2 broaden and have a slight shift, which might be evidence that F ions have substituted for a portion of O 2− in the SnO2. Compared with FTO, [7]. For pure SnO 2 , the characteristic and strong band at 625 cm −1 is attributed to A 1g vibration mode of SnO 2 .…”

Abstract:Copper nanoparticles/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectrum (UV-VIS DRS), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained Cu/FTO nanocomposites exhibit high photocatalytic activity for H 2 evolution under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. When the content of Cu is 19.2 wt % for FTO, the Cu/FTO photocatalyst shows the highest photocatalytic activity and the photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate is up to 11.22 µmol·h −1 . Meanwhile, the photocatalyst exhibits excellent stability and repeatability. It is revealed that the transfer efficiency of the photogenerated electrons is improved greatly because of the intense interaction between Cu NPs and FTO. Furthermore, a possible mechanism is proposed for enhanced photocatalytic H 2 evolution of Cu/FTO photocatalysts under visible light irradiation.

“…Many excellent perspectives and reviews on the preparation and the new physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials have been published recently [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. In general, the synthesis of nanomaterials and the creation of nanostructures are achieved mainly through two complementary approaches, identified as top-down synthesis and bottom-up synthesis.…”

There has been exponential growth in research activities on nanomaterials and nanotechnology for applications in emerging technologies and sustainable energy in the past decade. The properties of nanomaterials have been found to vary in terms of their shapes, sizes, and number of nanoscale dimensions, which have also further boosted the performance of nanomaterial-based electronic, catalytic, and sustainable energy conversion and storage devices. This reveals the importance and, indeed, the linchpin role of nanomaterial synthesis for current nanotechnology and high-performance functional devices. In this review, we provide an overview of the synthesis strategies for designing metal oxide nanomaterials in zerodimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) forms, particularly of the selected typical metal oxides TiO2, SnO2 and ZnO. The pros and cons of the typical synthetic methods and experimental protocols are reviewed and outlined. This comprehensive review gives a broad overview of the synthetic strategies for designing "property-on-demand" metal oxide nanostructures to further advance current nanoscience and nanotechnology.

“…Recently, engineered nanomaterials tailored with their shape, size and morphology are extensively studying in worldwide due to their outstanding properties which were limited in bulk materials. Metal oxides are the most enthralling classes of solids with a variety of structures, properties and applications in catalysts, thermal conductivity enhancers, optical devices, energy storage/conversion devices, phosphors, and extensively as sensors [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . Metal oxides are mainly composed of only metal and oxygen elements.…”

This review article is mainly focused the recent progress on the synthesis and characterisation of emerging artificially engineered nanostructures of oxide materials as well as their potential applications. A fundamental understanding about the state-of-the-art of the synthesis for different size, shape and morphology have been discussed in details, which can be tuned according to the desired properties of oxide nanomaterials. These tunable properties have also been discussed in details. The present review covers a wide range of artificially engineered oxide nanomaterials such as cadmium-, cupric-, nickel-, magnesium-, zinc-, titanium-, tin-, aluminium-, and vanadium-oxides and their useful applications in sensors, optical displays, nanofluids and defence.
