Conversion/alloying reactions, in which more lithium ions are involved, are severely handicapped by the dramatic volume changes. A facile and versatile strategy has been developed for integrating the SnO2 nanorod array in the PPy nanofilm for providing a flexible confinement for anchoring each nanorod and maintaining the entire structural integrity and providing sustainable contact; therefore, exhibiting much more stable cycling stability (701 mA h g(-1) after 300 cycles) and better high-rate capability (512 mA h g(-1) at 3 A g(-1)) when compared with the core-shell SnO2-PPy NA.

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.

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.
