Beaklike SnO2 nanorods were synthesized by a vapor-liquid-solid approach using Au as a catalyst. The nanorods grow along the [10 1] direction and the beak is formed by switching the growth direction to [1 12] through controlling the growth conditions at the end of the synthesis. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the nanorods exhibits visible light emission with a peak at 602 nm. The field-emission (FE) properties of the nanorods have been measured to exhibit a turn-on field of 5.8 V microm(-1). A comparative study of FE measurements between SnO2 nanorods with uniform diameters and these beaklike nanorods suggests that the shape and curved tips are important factors in determining the FE properties.

Glyphosate (GH) wastewater potentially poses hazards to human health and the aquatic environment, due to its persistence and toxicity. A highly superhydrophilic and stable graphite felt (GF)/polydopamine (PDA)/titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO-NT)/SnO/Ru anode was fabricated and characterized for the degradation of glyphosate wastewater. Compared to control anodes, the GF/PDA/TiO-NT/SnO/Ru anode exhibited the highest removal efficiency (near to 100%) and a yield of phosphate ions of 76.

Pure tin oxide (SnO) as a typical conductometric hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas-sensing material always suffers from limited sensitivity, elevated operation temperature, and poor selectivity. To overcome these hindrances, in this work, hollow CuO-SnO nanotubes were successfully electrospun for room-temperature (25 °C) trace HS detection under blue light activation. Among all SnO-based candidates, a pure SnO sensor showed no signal, even toward 10 ppm, while the 1% CuO-SnO sensor achieved a limit of detection (LoD) value of 2.

In the present study, Ba-doped AgPO/SnO type-II heterojunction nanocomposites were fabricated and systemically investigated for the degradation of basic yellow 28 (BY28) dye and Cr(VI) reduction in the photocatalytic process under visible-light irradiation. XRD, XPS, FESEM, DRS, and PL analyses were performed to determine the characterization of synthesized photocatalysts. The optimal 1.

New generation of electrochemical energy storage devices (EESD) such as supercapattery is being intensively studied as it merges the ideal energy density of batteries and optimal power density of supercapacitors in a single device. A multitude of parameters such as the method of electrodes preparation can affect the performance of supercapattery. In this research, nickel doped tin sulfide /tin oxide (SnS@Ni/SnO) heterostructures were grown directly on the Ni foam and subjected to different calcination temperatures to study their effect on formation, properties, and electrochemical performance through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and electrochemical tests.

The electrochemical glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) presents an opportunity to produce hydrogen and high-value chemical products. Herein, we investigate the effect of Sn in Ni nanoparticles for the GOR to formic acid (FA). Electrochemical results show that the maximum activity is related to the amount of Ni, as Ni sites are responsible for catalyzing the GOR via the NiOOH/Ni(OH) pair.
