A one-step and facile method using SnCl 2 ·H 2 O as reducing agent to reduce graphene oxide (GO) was performed in the aid of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) solution (PDDA). SnCl 2 ·H 2 O is not only a reducing agent for graphene oxide (GO), but also a precursor of SnO 2 . SnO 2 -PDDA-GR composite was characterized by various surface, structural and electrochemical analysis techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV spectrum (UV–vis), Infrared Spectrum (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Cyclic voltammograms (CV) and electrochemical impedance (EIS). The SnO 2 -PDDA-GR composite was used to constructed electrochemical sensor (SnO 2 -PDDA-GR/GCE) for the determination of daidzein . Under the optimized experimental condition, it was found that the response of peak current is linear to the concentration of daidzein in the ranges of 2.0×10 −8 −1.0×10 −6 mol L −1 , and the detection limit was estimated to be 6.7×10 −9 mol L −1 (S/N=3). Furthermore, this sensor was successfully applied for the determination of daidzein in traditional Chinese medicine (pueraria lobata) and Daidzein tablets.

Bacterial infection significantly hinders the wound healing process. Overuse of antibiotics has led to the rise of drug resistance in bacteria, making the development of smart medical dressings that promote wound healing without antibiotics, a critical need. In this study, Cu₂O-SnO₂-PDA (PCS) nanoenzymes with Fenton-like activity and high photothermal conversion efficiency were developed. These nanoenzymes were then incorporated into a hydrogel through cross-linking of acrylamide (AM) and N-[Tris-(hydroxymethyl)methyl] acrylamide (THMA), forming a tough, highly-adhesive, and self-healing composite hydrogel (AT/PCS) with antimicrobial properties. The AT/PCS hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical strength and adhesion, facilitating increased oxygen levels and strong adherence to the wound site. Moreover, it effectively regulates the wound microenvironment by combining synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) for antibacterial treatment. The AT/PCS hydrogel enhances collagen deposition and expedites wound healing in a rat model, largely due to its potent antibacterial properties.

Despite there being many reports on SnO 2 -based anode materials, most of the electrode materials are tested in half cells using lithium metal with unlimited lithium-ion sources as the counter electrode, which may conceal the real properties of these composites to a certain extent. In this study, a ternary SnO 2 –Co–C composite was fabricated by a scalable ball milling strategy. The composite exhibited high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE, >80%), a large capacity (∼900 mA h g −1 ) and superior cycling stability (capacity retention more than 99% after 100 cycles) in half cells. Furthermore, coin-type full cells in which the ternary SnO 2 –Co–C anodes were paired with different cathodes were demonstrated. A LiFePO 4 ||SnO 2 –Co–C full cell tested at 0.5–3.4 V exhibited an ICE of 75.1% and an initial discharge capacity of 906 mA h g −1 , which were close to those of the SnO 2 –Co–C||Li half cells. By analyzing the cycling performance and characteristics of the charge/discharge process for the full cells with different capacity ratios of cathode/anode, it was confirmed that the capacity decay of the full cells was due to the continuous consumption of Li + ions during cycling. Hence, the testing voltage windows were adjusted according to the lithiation/de-lithiation behavior of the SnO 2 . On this basis, the LiFePO 4 ||SnO 2 –Co–C full cells tested at 2.3–3.4 V and the LiCoO 2 ||SnO 2 –Co–C full cells tested at 2.60–3.75 V exhibited excellent cycling stability, demonstrating 80.3% and almost 100% capacity retention after 100 cycles, respectively, thereby laying a foundation for the practical application of advanced SnO 2 -based anodes in lithium-ion batteries.

A new ternary SnO2–Co–C composite is produced using a facile and scalable ball milling method, which has a microstructure that includes refined SnO2–Co hybrids embedded in graphite. The Co additives dramatically inhibit Sn coarsening in the lithiated SnO2, which enables highly reversible conversion reactions in the SnO2-based ternary composite during cycling. The electrodes exhibit high ICEs with an average of 80.8% and a reversible capacity of 780 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 after 400 cycles when the composite was manufactured via small planetary ball milling, and they achieve 875 mA h g−1 after 250 cycles when the material is prepared on a large-scale with a roller mill. Even at a high rate of 2 A g−1, the composite has a long lifetime and delivers 610 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, a stable capacity of 410 mA h g−1 can be also retained in a full cell combined with a LiFePO4 cathode and SnO2–Co–C anode when cycling within 2.3–3.4 V at 0.2C. The new ternary SnO2–Co–C composite demonstrates excellent comprehensive electrochemical performances, and it is a promising candidate anode material for use in practical applications.

To improve the sulfur loading capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries (Li-S batteries) cathode and avoid the inevitable “shuttle effect”, hollow N doped carbon coated CoO/SnO 2 (CoO/SnO 2 @NC) composite has been designed and prepared by a hydrothermal-calcination method. The specific surface area of CoO/SnO 2 @NC composite is 85.464 m 2 ·g −1 , and the pore volume is 0.1189 cm 3 ·g −1 . The hollow core-shell structure as a carrier has a sulfur loading amount of 66.10%. The initial specific capacity of the assembled Li-S batteries is 395.7 mAh·g −1 at 0.2 C, which maintains 302.7 mAh·g −1 after 400 cycles. When the rate increases to 2.5 C, the specific capacity still has 221.2 mAh·g −1 . The excellent lithium storage performance is attributed to the core-shell structure with high specific surface area and porosity. This structure effectively increases the sulfur loading, enhances the chemical adsorption of lithium polysulfides, and reduces direct contact between CoO/SnO 2 and the electrolyte.

Freon refrigerants, whose leakage will cause serious safety and environmental issues, have an urgent need of developing leakage detection technologies. Conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors exhibit limited efficacy in detecting halogenated Freons due to their chemical inertness and weak charge-transfer interactions. While recent innovations employing mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 overlayers have enabled Freon detection via catalytic decomposition sensing mechanism, the achieved sensing performance remains suboptimal. In this work, this issue is addressed by engineering a Pd-doped mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 (Pd-γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 ) gas sensor. The doped Pd atoms not only accelerate the decomposition of Freon molecules on the catalytic layer but also induce the Schottky-barrier effect in the SnO 2 sensing layer. Benefiting from the synergistic effect, the Pd-γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 gas sensor shows outstanding response, good stability, repeatability, selectivity, and rarely-reported universality in sensing different Freon gases. Notably, a valuable solution is demonstrated in the leakage detection of next-generation refrigerants, Freon R1234yf. The sensing mechanism is deduced by exhaust gas components identification. These results highlight the promising potential for addressing the real-world needs of Freon refrigerant leakage detection technology.

We successfully constructed a heterojunction structure composed of Ag2S nanocrystals/P3HT conjugated polymer with a relatively high absorption coefficient and broader absorption from the ultraviolet to near-infrared region. The assembled P3HT:Ag2S devices exhibited outstanding short-circuit current density around 19 mA cm−2. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that a low-temperature solution-processed nanocrystalline SnO2 thin film prepared by a facile synthesis method can be an excellent electron transport layer (ETL) material for hybrid solar cells. The SnO2 based hybrid solar cells exhibit an open circuit voltage of 280 mV, which was 100 mV higher than those for devices without SnO2. Based on the above work, we hypothesized that the higher power conversion efficiency is due to the excellent properties of nanocrystalline SnO2 films, such as high electron mobility and excellent transparency at visible wavelength and enhanced exciton dissociation efficiency, and better energy level alignment between FTO and Ag2S for greater photovoltage retention. The simple low temperature low energy consumption, and low-cost soft-chemical process is compatible with the roll-to-roll manufacturing of low-cost hybrid solar cells on flexible substrates.

In this work, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 -La/β-PbO 2 electrode was successfully prepared by electrodeposition method. The surface morphology, crystal structure, elemental states and electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were examined by SEM, XRD, XPS, CV, and LSV. The results demonstrated that the conductivity, specific surface area, electrochemical oxidation performance and stability of the β-PbO 2 coated electrode with SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 -La as the intermediate layer were greatly improved. Under the conditions of initial rhodamine B (RhB) concentration of 20 mg/L, initial pH of 3.0, electrolyte concentration of 0.1 M, and current density of 30 mA cm −2 , the removal rates of color and TOC reached 100 % and 83.64 % after 20 mins and 30 mins, respectively. The electrode can also completely degrade methylene blue and methyl orange wastewater after 30 mins under the same conditions. The accelerated lifetime of the electrode reached 175 mins (1000 mA cm −2 , 1 M H 2 SO 4 ), and the actual lifetime was up to 3208 hrs. Based on the results of free radical quenching experiment and GC–MS detection, RhB degradation pathway was proposed: the aniline-based conjugated system of RhB molecule was attacked by the combined action of free radicals (indirect oxidation) and electrocatalysis (direct oxidation), which decomposed macromolecules into small molecules and ultimately mineralized them into CO 2 and H 2 O. This work is expected to provide a fresh research concept for preparing DSA electrodes with excellent catalytic performance and high stability.

Efficient and stable rGO@Ti/SnO 2 –Sb composite electrodes were prepared by the sol-gel method. The microscopic morphology , crystal structure, and electrochemical properties of the rGO@Ti/SnO 2 -Sb composite electrodes were characterized by a range of characterization techniques. The electrocatalytic oxidation activity of the electrodes was evaluated by the degradation efficiency of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic norfloxacin (NOR). Simultaneously, the effects of different experimental conditions on the degradation efficiency of NOR were also investigated, such as calcination temperatures, brushing times, initial pH, initial electrolyte concentration , etc. The enhanced electrocatalytic oxidation activity can be attributed to the excellent electron transfer efficiency, higher electrode specific surface area, and stronger adhesion of the electrode coating to the substrate. Additionally, the possible NOR degradation pathway was deduced through the main intermediates, and the mechanism of NOR degradation was discussed based on experimental and characterization results. This work provides a simple and effective method to prepare highly active composite electrodes for electrocatalytic oxidation to remove organic pollutants from water.

In this work, a novel La-doped βPbO 2 (Ti/SnO 2 –Sb/La-βPbO 2 ) was prepared using electrodeposition method and applied to the degradation of prednisolone (PRD), 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), and other typical organic pollutants. Compared with the conventional electrode Ti/SnO 2 –Sb/βPbO 2 , La 2 O 3 doping enhanced oxygen evolution potential (OEP), reactive surface area, stability and repeatability of the electrode. The 10 g L −1 of La 2 O 3 doping exhibited the highest electrochemical oxidation capability of the electrode with [•OH]ss being determined at 5.6 × 10 −13 M. The quenching experiments were conducted to confirm the main oxidizing species (here: •OH) in the electrochemical process. The study showed that the pollutants were removed in the electrochemical (EC) process with different degradation rates and indicated that the second-order rate constant of organic pollutants towards •OH ( k OP,•OH ) has a linear relationship with the degradation rate of organic pollutants ( k OP ) in the electrochemical process. Another new finding in this work is that a regression line of k OP,•OH and k OP can be used to estimate k OP,•OH of an organic chemical, which cannot be determined using the competition method. k PRD,•OH and k 8-HQ,•OH were determined to be 7.4 × 10 9 M −1 s −1 and (4.6–5.5) × 10 9 M −1 s −1 , respectively. Compared with conventional supporting electrolyte (like SO 4 2− ), H 2 PO 4 − and HPO 4 2− improved k PRD and k 8-HQ by 1.3–1.6-fold, while SO 3 2− and HCO 3 − inhibited k PRD and k 8-HQ significantly, down to 80%. Additionally, the degradation pathway of 8-HQ was proposed based on the detection of intermediates from GC-MS.

High-performance, low-power microhotplate (MHP) gas sensors loaded with 3D hierarchical structured PdO/PdO 2 -SnO 2 :Sb materials on a pair of Al gas sensing electrodes were fabricated through advanced high-accuracy electrohydrodynamic printing method. The PdO/PdO 2 -SnO 2 :Sb materials with various PdO/PdO 2 concentrations were initially synthesized via a mild and simple hydrothermal reaction. Their micromorphology and chemical composition were characterized by SEM, XRD, TEM, and XPS, which proved the successful synthesis. The gas sensing performance of the sensors to benzene, ethanol, acetone, formaldehyde, and ethanol-acetone mixed gas (volume ratio 1:1) was tested. The sensing property of the materials is regulated with different content of PdO/PdO 2 . The identification of the VOCs is realized by two-step principal component analysis (PCA). Simulation calculations on the I–V characteristic of the MHP gas sensors reveal that carriers have to get through Al 2 O 3 barriers by Poole-Frenkel emission, which significantly affects the carrier conduction as well as the gas sensing properties. The gas sensing mechanism is analyzed from the aspects of gas sensing material and electrodes.

In this paper, the electrocatalytic performance of Ti/β-PbO 2 anode was improved by doping Cs into SnO 2 intermediate layer (Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 ) for the efficient degradation of fluoroquinolone wastewater. Compared with the conventional Ti/Sb-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode, Cs-SnO 2 with the rougher surface increased the deposition amount and the thickness of β-PbO 2 active layer, thus forming the denser PbO 2 coating with smaller particle size and exposing more active sites. The partial replacement of Sn by Cs with the smaller ion radius induced the deformation of crystal lattice of SnO 2 , which further led the outer β-PbO 2 active layer grew along the advantageous (200) crystal plane and formed more point defects in the crystal lattice of β-PbO 2 . Thereby, the electron transfer rate at the anode interface was accelerated and the electrocatalytic performance of Ti/β-PbO 2 was significantly improved. To verify the practical application of the improved Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 electrode, levofloxacin (LFX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) were selected as the typical target fluoroquinolones to evaluate the degradation efficiency of Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode. The removal rate exceeded more than 90% for the single and mixed fluoroquinolones wastewater. Moreover, after 5 times’ recycle, the degradation efficiency of LFX on Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode still remained over 90%. The potential mechanism of the enhanced electrocatalytic performance of Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 and the degradation pathways of fluoroquinolones were also inferred. It’s the first time to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of the Ti/β-PbO 2 anode by introducing monovalent alkali metal (C S ) into the SnO 2 intermediate layer and the proposed Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode would be a promising candidate to realize the efficient removal of the practical fluoroquinolones antibiotic wastewater.
