Synthesis and characterization of carbon coated sponge-like tin oxide (SnO_x) films and their application as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Carbon coated SnOx sponges were synthesized and applied as anode in Li-ion batteries.

Self‐Organized Arrays of SnO2 Microplates with Photocatalytic and Antimicrobial Properties

“…Further increase in the bias voltage leads to the precipitation of tin oxalate by reaction of the stannate intermediate that was formed during the anodization with the oxalic acid etchant (Figure h). The results indicate that the lamellar structure represents an intermediate of the anodization at low bias, porous nanochannels were shown to form at high bias , …”

“…In analogy to TiO 2 , tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) is a non‐toxic wide‐gap n ‐type semiconductor that combines high conductivity with high optical transparency in the visible range, making it an important component for optoelectronic applications and as transparent conducting oxide for electrodes in solar cells, gas‐sensors, catalysts or coatings for architectural glass . In addition, it has the potential to function as a high capacity anode material for lithium‐ion batteries . SnO 2 is often doped with fluorine or antimony to improve its electrical conductivity.…”

Development of Nonenzymatic Benzoic Acid Detection on PdSn/GCE/Vulcan XC‐72R Prepared via Polyol Method

“…Apart from the characteristic peaks of FCC Pd, it was observed that the diffraction peak at 33.6° and 51.7° were due to the (1 0 1) and (2 1 1) reflections of Sn. The fact that the diffraction peaks in Figure b were between the standard diffraction peaks of Pd (JCPDS 87‐0638) and Sn (JCPDS 01‐065‐0296) indicated that the PdSn alloy phase was formed . The average crystallite size was calculated as 12.2 nm according to the Pd (1 1 1) peak by using the Scherer equation.…”

SnO2-Containing Clinoptilolite as a Composite Photocatalyst for Dyes Removal from Wastewater under Solar Light

“…SnO 2 has received considerable attention for fundamental research and industrial application due to its properties, such as low electrical resistance, high electrical conductivity, and high optical transparency in the visible region [7,8]. As an n-type semiconductor having a bandgap of about 3.6 eV at bulk state, SnO 2 can be a good alternative photocatalyst, but its photocatalytic ability for the degradation of pollutants is directly related to the synthesis procedure (morphology, particle size, and dopant concentrations).…”
