The study utilized a simple and cost-effective approach to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance of various materials, including reduced graphene oxide (rGO), tin oxide nanostructures (SnO), and rGO/SnO composites. The composites examined were rS15, containing 15 mg of rGO and 45 mg of SnO, and rS5, with 5 mg of rGO and 50 mg of SnO, tested in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte. Notably, the rS5 electrode showed a significant increase in PEC efficiency in 0.

- Researchers developed hierarchical nanostructures of CdO, SnO, and a CdO-SnO composite through a simple hydrothermal synthesis process and studied their electrochemical properties as electrode materials.
- Low-temperature Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction confirmed the formation and high purity of these materials, revealing unique morphologies like smooth CdO nanoparticles and micro flower-like SnO structures.
- The CdO-SnO composite showed superior capacitance and durability in battery hybrid supercapacitors (BHSC), achieving notable power delivery and energy density, with 91.3% performance retention after 8000 charge-discharge cycles.
In this study, the facile synthesis of SnO quantum dot (QD)-garnished VO nanobelts exhibiting significantly enhanced reversible capacity and outstanding cyclic stability for Li storage was achieved. Electrochemical impedance analysis revealed strong charge transfer kinetics related to that of VO nanobelts. The SnO QD-garnished VO nanobelts exhibited the highest discharge capacity of ca.
