Article Abstract
Hierarchical SnO(2) microspheres consisting of nanosheets on the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates are successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal synthesis process. The as-prepared novel microsphere films were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Moreover, SnO(2) nanoparticles with 30-80 nm in size covered on the surface of nanosheets/microspheres were also obtained by optimizing the hydrothermal reaction temperature, time, or volume ratio of acetylacetone/H(2)O. The detailed investigations disclose the experimental parameters, such as acetylacetone, NH(4)F, and seed layer play important roles in the morphology of hierarchical SnO(2) microspheres on the FTO glass. The formation process of SnO(2) microspheres is also proposed based on the observations of time dependent samples.

The coffee-ring effect, caused by uneven deposition of colloidal particles in perovskite precursor solutions, leads to poor uniformity in perovskite films prepared through large-area printing. In this work, the surface of SnO is roughened to construct a Wenzel model, successfully achieving a super-hydrophilic interface. This modification significantly accelerates the spreading of the perovskite precursor solution, reducing the response delay time of perovskite colloidal particles during the printing process.

Herein, porous SnO microspheres in a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical architecture were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route utilizing d-(+)-glucose and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which act as reducing and structure-directing agents, respectively. Controlled adjustment of the CTAB to glucose mole ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, and the calcination parameters all provided important clues toward optimizing the final morphologies of SnO with exceptional structural stability and reasonable monodispersity. Electron microscopy analysis revealed that microspheres formed were hierarchical self-assemblies of numerous primary SnO nanoparticles of ∼3-8 nm that coalesce together to form nearly monodispersed and ordered spherical structures of sizes in the range of 230-250 nm and are appreciably porous.

SiO multishell hollow spheres (MHSs) as supports have multiple porous layers and internal voids, which present notable advantages in regulating mass transport and chemical reactions. However, practical applications of SiO MHSs are severely hindered because of their high costs and low production efficiency issues. Herein, it is overcome these obstacles by developing a precursor hydrolysis method and demonstrate a cost-effective production of void-ratio tunable SiO MHSs on a large scale, which has a much lower cavitation temperature (25 °C) and one order of magnitude decrease in cost.

Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) modified tin dioxide microspheres (MTMS/SnO) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and heated reflux reaction strategy. The characterization results indicate that the modification of MTMS induced the formation of a hydrophobic network within the composites, while maintaining abundant adsorbed oxygen species. Subsequently, the MTMS/SnO microspheres were used as a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coating for the efficient extraction and sensitive determination of trace polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in aqueous solutions coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
