Porous carbon materials are considered potential replacements for metal carriers in Li–SnO 2 batteries. Here, a 3D hierarchical porous carbon nanotube (CNT) scaffold was used as a collector to host SnO 2 . The novel collector comprised Co 2+ -doped porous carbon (PC) slices and a CNT network. The new Co–PC/CNT electrode demonstrated a high loading capacity of SnO 2 , accommodated the volume expansion of SnO 2 , and prevented its aggregation. Co played an important role in improving the initial discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of the electrode. The SnO 2 –Co–PC/CNT electrodes exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance. The first-discharge specific capacity reached 2067 mAh·g −1 , and the utilization rate of active materials reached 82.92% at a current density of 100 mAh·g −1 . After 100 cycles, the specific discharge capacity remained greater than 698 mAh·g −1 , with a coulombic efficiency of 99.53%.

Improving catalytic hydrogenation by modifying noble metal catalysts with metal-oxide promoters is promising, but precisely controlling the metal–promoter interface to optimize performance is still challenging. In this study, we created Ir-SnO2/SiO2 nanocatalysts with different Ir/Sn ratios using IrSn alloy precursors through careful calcination and reduction treatments. The SnO2-promoted catalysts showed much better conversion and selectivity than the original Ir/SiO2 catalyst toward the hydrogenation of acetophenone to phenylethanol. The Ir-SnO2/SiO2 catalyst with an Ir/Sn molar ratio of 5/1 (i.e., sample Ir5-(SnO2)1/SiO2) performed the best, achieving a 94% conversion rate and 99% selectivity. Our study found that SnO2 promoters could reduce the surface electron density of the Ir nanoparticles (NPs), enhancing the adsorption of reactants; meanwhile, the new Ir-SnO2 interface is more active for the dissociation of hydrogen compared to Ir alone. The optimal Ir5-(SnO2)1/SiO2 catalyst has demonstrated versatility by effectively catalyzing the hydrogenation of C═O bonds in a wide range of compounds, showing significant potential for various industrial applications in fine chemical synthesis and energy conversion.

SnO 2 is a charming contributor to sensors, while the intrinsic deficiencies, like facile conglomeration, hard stimulation, and poor stability, limit its potential prospects. The SnO 2 aerogel (SA) is proposed through an achievable fabrication, effectively solving the difficulties and exhibiting a satisfactory ability in ethanol detection. The SA450 behaves as the spearhead, which owns the narrowest bandgap of 3.2 eV and the largest double-layer capacitance of 559 μF/cm 2 , symbolizing the most prone electronic transitions and active sites. Besides, SEM, TEM , and AFM are served to obtain the nanoparticle size and the rough surface. The SA450 exhibits an outstanding sensing ability at 150 ℃, and the DFT calculation is taken as evidence. Interestingly, the SA0 without calcination can exhibit a satisfying SERS detection towards 4-MBA, which applies to explosive detection. Finally, the bandgap structure and response process are discussed. This work introduces a brand-new preparation of metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs), overcoming plenty of aporias in gas sensors and simultaneously producing the SERS response, which can lead to a fresh direction for sensing materials.

SnO 2 -doped CaSiO 3 ceramics were successfully synthesized by a solid-state method. Effects of different SnO 2 additions on the sintering behavior, microstructure and dielectric properties of Ca(Sn 1− x Si x )O 3 ( x =0.5–1.0) ceramics have been investigated. SnO 2 improved the densification process and expanded the sintering temperature range effectively. Moreover, Sn 4+ substituting for Si 4+ sites leads to the emergence of Ca 3 SnSi 2 O 9 phase, which has a positive effect on the dielectric properties of CaO–SiO 2 –SnO 2 materials, especially the Qf value. The Ca(Sn 0.1 Si 0.9 )O 3 ceramics sintered at 1375 °C possessed good microwave dielectric properties: ε r =7.92, Qf =58,000 GHz and τ f =−42 ppm/°C. The Ca(Sn 0.4 Si 0.6 )O 3 ceramics sintered at 1450 °C also exhibited good microwave dielectric properties of ε r =9.27, Qf =63,000 GHz, and τ f =−52 ppm/°C. Thus, they are promising candidate materials for millimeter-wave devices.

In this study, Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes were produced using a sol-enhanced electrodeposition technique from methanesulfonate electrolytes. The surface microstructures of Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2were observed, and their phase constituents were determined. The surface features were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Linear sweep voltammetry and degradation tests were also conducted to determine the degradation performance. The results show that the addition of TiO2sol affects the microstructures of Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes, while a uniform coating surface can be obtained at a proper sol concentration in electrolytes. Adding TiO2sol also causes deep oxidation of Sb and generates more adsorbed oxygen on the electrode surface. The favorable surface features and the well-dispersed TiO2in the coatings of 10 mL/L TiO2modified Ti/SnO2-Sb2Ox-TiO2electrodes award them the best electrocatalytic performance, and their uniform coating surface prolongs the electrode service life.Keywords:SnO2-Sb2Ox;sol-enhanced electrodeposition;organic degradation

Persistent luminescence phosphors, which are capable of emitting light for a long time after ceasing excitation, have shown great promise in diverse areas as bioprobes, lighting and displays. Exploring new materials to realize efficient persistent luminescence is a goal of general concern. Herein, we report a novel persistent luminescence phosphor based on Eu3+-doped SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The afterglow decay behaviour, the trap depth distribution as well as the underlying mechanism for persistent luminescence of the NPs were comprehensively surveyed by means of thermoluminescence and temperature-dependent afterglow decay measurements. It was found that the thermal activation mechanism is responsible for the afterglow decay of the NPs with an inverse power-law exponent of 1.0 (or 1.7) in the temperature region below (or above) 220 K. In particular, the co-existence of uniform and exponential distributions in trap depths may result in such a unique afterglow decay behaviour. These results reveal the great potential of SnO2 NPs as an excellent host material for Eu3+ doping for the generation of efficient persistent luminescence.

Tin dioxide (SnO2)-based electronic materials and gas sensors have attracted extensive attention from academia and industry. Herein we report the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) porous SnO2 flakes by thermal oxidation of 2D SnS flakes that serve as a self-sacrificial template. An oxidation-enabled, temperature-dependent matter conversion from SnS through three-phase SnS–SnS2–SnO2 (400 °C) and two-phase SnS2–SnO2 (600 °C) to pure-phase SnO2 (≥800 °C) is disclosed by means of combined XRD, TG-DSC and XPS studies. Meanwhile, the associated chemical reactions and the mass and heat changes during this solid-state conversion process are clarified. The as-prepared 2D SnO2 flakes exhibit structural porosity with tunable pore sizes and crystallite sizes/crystallinity, resulting in superior potential for NO2 sensing. At the optimized operating temperature of 200 °C, the prototype gas sensors made of porous SnO2 flakes show competitive sensing parameters in a broad NO2 concentration range of 50 ppb–10 ppm in terms of high response, faster response/recovery speeds, and good selectivity and stability. A sensing mechanism involving the adsorption and desorption of NO2/O2 molecules and the possible surface reactions is further rationalized for the SnO2 NO2 gas sensors.

Temperature modulation technology has been extensively used in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors, especially based on micro-hotplate sensor structure. The technique not only enhances the selectivity but also increases the sensor’s sensitivity by allowing it to exhibit a highly active surface due to the effect of oxygen accumulation. However, when the MOS sensor is in a state of high surface activity, the corresponding hydroxide formation may occur when exposed to water, negatively affecting the gas sensing performance and stability of the sensor. This study focuses on the stability of SnO 2 and In 2 O 3 gas sensors during storage process after temperature modulation test. The results indicate that SnO 2 exhibits good stability, while In 2 O 3 stability is poor. The mechanism responsible for deactivation was discussed with infrared spectroscopy results. The formation of In(OH) 3 was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscope , which further confirmed the above conclusion. These findings suggest that after temperature modulation, the gas sensitive materials stored in an atmospheric environment (20 ℃, 40%−60%RH) would generate hydroxides. When temperature modulation was repeated at (100–400 ℃), Sn(OH) 4 decompose into SnO 2 , thus maintaining stability. In contrast, the decomposition temperature of In(OH) 3 is higher. At 400 ℃, it will not decompose into In 2 O 3 in a short time, which would lead to poor stability.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is of great interest for environmental remediation applications. However, fast recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pair and a low utilization rate of sunlight hinder the commercialization of currently available semiconductor photocatalysts. In this regard, we developed a unique ternary single core-double shell heterostructure that consists of α-Fe2O3@SnO2@Cu2O. This heterostructure exhibits a tube-like morphology possessing broad spectral response for the sunlight due to the combination of narrow bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors forming a p–n heterojunction. To fabricate such a short nanotube (SNT), we used an anion-assisted hydrothermal route for deposition of α-Fe2O3, a seed-mediated deposition strategy for SnO2, and finally an aging process to deposit a Cu2O layer to complete the tube-like ternary α-Fe2O3@SnO2@Cu2O single core-double shell heterostructures. The morphology, composition, and photocatalytic properties of those ternary core–shell–shell heterostructures were characterized by various analytical techniques. These ternary heterostructures exhibited enhanced photocatalytic properties on the photodegradation of the organic dye of Rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight irradiation. The origin of enhanced photocatalytic activity is due to the synergistic effect of broad spectral response by combining narrow bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors and, hence, an efficient charge separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs facilitated through the p–n heterojunction. Furthermore, our unique structure provides an insight on the fabrication and controlled preparation of multilayer heterostructural photocatalysts that have intriguing properties.

A high long-term stability is crucial for room-temperature gas-sensitive metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) to find practical applications. A series of Pd-SnO2mixtures with 2, 5, and 10 wt% Pd separately were prepared from SnO2and Pd powders. Through pressing and sintering, Pd-SnO2composite nanoceramics have been successfully prepared from the mixtures, which show responses of 50, 100, and 60 to 0.04% CO-20% O2-N2at room temperature for samples of 2, 5, and 10 wt% Pd, respectively. The room-temperature CO-sensing characteristics were degraded obviously after dozens of days’ aging for all samples. For samples of 5 wt% Pd, the response to CO was decreased by a factor of 4 after 20 days of aging. Fortunately, some rather mild heat treatments will quite effectively reactivate those aged samples. Heat treatment at 150 °C for 15 min in air tripled the response to CO for a 20 days-aged sample of 5 wt% Pd. It is proposed that the deposition of impurity gases in air on Pd in Pd-SnO2composite nanoceramics has resulted in the observed aging, while their desorption from Pd through mild heat treatments leads to the reactivation. More studies on aging and reactivation of room-temperature gas sensitive MOSs should be conducted to achieve high long-term stability for room-temperature MOS gas sensors.Keywords:CO;sensors;SnO2;aging;heat treatment;recover

We report a facile method for the in situ growth of vertically aligned SnO2 nanosheets on a substrate, which involved the hydrothermal treatment of the substrate covered with electrospun nanofibers of poly(vinyl butyral) containing SnCl2 at low temperatures and free of additives. The formation mechanism of nanostructured SnO2 has been explored. Gas sensors based on the composites of SnO2 nanosheets and polyaniline were prepared by vapor phase polymerization of aniline or the dip coating with water-processable polyaniline, and revealed good contact between the sensing films and underlying electrode. The nanocomposite sensors demonstrate very high response magnitude toward NH3 (relative resistance change of ∼3700% towards 10.7 ppm of NH3), ultra-low detection limit (∼46 ppb), good sensing repeatability and excellent selectivity at room temperature. Investigations on the gas sensing mechanism of the nanocomposite suggest that the establishment of the p/n heterojunction at the interface of p-type PANI and n-type SnO2 play an important role in enhancing the response magnitude of the nanocomposite. The method could provide new solutions for the direct fabrication of optoelectronic and electrochemical devices based on nanostructured metal oxides and their composites.

The efficient, stable, and selective photocatalytic conversion of nitric oxide (NO) into harmless products such as nitrate (NO3−) is greatly desired but remains an enormous challenge. In this work, a series of BiOI/SnO2heterojunctions (denoted asX%B-S, whereX% is the mass portion of BiOI compared with the mass of SnO2) were synthesized for the efficient transformation of NO into harmless NO3−. The best performance was achieved by the 30%B-S catalyst, whose NO removal efficiency was 96.3% and 47.2% higher than that of 15%B-S and 75%B-S, respectively. Moreover, 30%B-S also exhibited good stability and recyclability. This enhanced performance was mainly caused by the heterojunction structure, which facilitated charge transport and electron-hole separation. Under visible light irradiation, the electrons gathered in SnO2transformed O2to ·O2−and ·OH, while the holes generated in BiOI oxidized H2O to produce ·OH. The abundantly generated ·OH, ·O2−, and1O2species effectively converted NO to NO−and NO2−, thus promoting the oxidation of NO to NO3−. Overall, the heterojunction formation between p-type BiOI and n-type SnO2significantly reduced the recombination of photo-induced electron-hole pairs and promoted the photocatalytic activity. This work reveals the critical role of heterojunctions during photocatalytic degradation and provides some insight into NO removal.Keywords:NO removal;photocatalysis;BiOI/SnO2;heterojunction;enhanced mechanism
