We investigated the ferroelectric characteristics of an epitaxial perovskite ZnSnO(3) thin film on a (111) SrRuO(3)/(111) SrTiO(3) substrate fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. We confirmed that the ZnSnO(3) thin film was epitaxially grown on the substrate, forming large terraces on the surface of the ZnSnO(3) thin film. The ZnSnO(3) thin film exhibited a high ferroelectric polarization of approximately 47 microC/cm(2), which was further supported by first-principles calculations.

Herein, it is reported that a batch of hollow core-shell heterostructure photocatalysts were carefully fabricated using a reliable and convenient low-temperature solvothermal method, and ultra-thin ZnInS nanosheets are grown in situ on the hollow ZnSnO cubes to achieve efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. This unique layered hollow structure utilizes multiple light scattering/reflection within the cavity to enhance light absorption, the thin shell reduces the path of charge transfer, and the irregular nanosheets-wrapped outer layer not only enhances the adsorption power, but also provides an abundant active sites to promote the efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen. Therefore, due to the matching energy band and unique structure, the ZnSnO@ZnInS hollow core-shell heterostructure photocatalyst exhibits superior H production efficiency (16340.

The trade-off between performance and stability in amorphous oxide semiconductor-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) has been a critical challenge, meaning that it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high mobility and stability under bias and light stresses. Here, an amorphous mixture of two indium-free BaSnO and ZnSnO compounds, a-(Zn,Ba)SnO, is proposed as a feasible strategy to achieve high mobility and stability at the same time. The choice of BaSnO as a counterpart to ZnSnO, a well-known In-free candidate in amorphous oxide semiconductors, is to improve structural order and oxygen stoichiometry due to the large heat of formation and to preserve electron mobility due to the same kind of octahedral Sn-O network.

In structural hierarchy, inherently hollow nanostructured materials preferentially possessing high surface area demand attention due to their alluring sensing performances. However, the activity of hollow and structural hierarchy nanomaterials generally remains suboptimal due to their hollow space structure and large lateral size, which greatly hamper and limit the availability of inner space active sites. Here, hollow ZnSnO cubes with a controllable interior structure were successfully prepared through a simple and low-cost coprecipitation approach followed with a calcination process.

Nano-composite containing zinc oxide-tin oxide was obtained by a facile co-precipitation route using tin chloride tetrahydrate and zinc chloride as precursors and coated on glass by Doctor Blade deposition. The crystalline structure and morphology of composites were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The XRD results showed peaks relative to zinc oxide with hexagonal wurtzite structure and tin oxide with tetragonal structure.
