Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction studies of CaSnO(3) perovskite were performed under high-pressure conditions. This high-pressure study was motivated by a recent theoretical study predicting a phase transition in CaSnO(3) from GdFeO(3)-type perovskite to CaIrO(3)-type structure occurred at 12 GPa. Despite no obvious structure change up to a pressure of 26 GPa based on the x-ray diffraction data, high pressure Raman measurements revealed that some Raman modes disappeared upon compression; either merging into neighboring bands or vanishing. The signals for these Raman peaks were recovered during decompression. The measured pressure derivative of Raman shift (∂ν∕∂P) of CaSnO(3) ranged from ~1.29 to ~4.35, up to 20 GPa. Due to the lack of lattice dynamic study for CaSnO(3) perovskite, the mode symmetry for CaSnO(3) was tentatively assigned based on the empirical relation among Ca-bearing perovskites. The pressure derivative of the Raman shifts was found to be related to their mode vibrations: modes related to Ca and O shifts had a strong pressure dependence compared with those associated with oxygen octahedral rotation.

The alkaline earth stannates are touted for their wide band gaps and the highest room-temperature electron mobilities among all of the perovskite oxides. CaSnO has the highest measured band gap in this family and is thus a particularly promising ultrawide band gap semiconductor. However, discouraging results from previous theoretical studies and failed doping attempts had described this material as "undopable".

In this work, the gas-sensing functionality of porous ceramic bodies formed by the slip casting technique was studied using perovskite nanoparticles of an MSnO system (M = Ba, Ca, Zn) synthesized by a chemical route. The performance and reliability of the sensitive materials in the presence of different volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, and toluene), and other gases (CO, H and NO) were analysed. The ZnSnO, BaSnO, and CaSnO sensors showed sensitivities of 40, 16, and 8% ppm towards acetone, ethanol, and toluene vapours, respectively.

In this study, the physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of two kinds of stannate perovskite oxides (MgSnO and CaSnO) were investigated under simulated sunlight, where dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) were selected as the probe pollutants. The results of photochemical characterization showed that MgSnO perovskite exhibited better photocatalytic performance than CaSnO perovskite. MgSnO perovskite could effectively degrade 75% of DMP and 79% of DEP through pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics, which remained good in pH 3.
