In this work, a simple sonochemical route was followed to synthesize cobalt stannate (CoSnO) nanocubes using stannous and cobalt chlorides as the precursors in alkaline medium at room temperature. The structure, composition and surface morphology of synthesized CoSnO nanocubes have been characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) indicates that the CoSnO nanocubes are crystalline, single-phase without any impurity phase; the sizes of nanocubes are ∼100 nm. The cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements are carried out for the CoSnO nanocubes shows a specific capacitance 237 F g at 0.5 mA cm current density and in 1 M NaSO electrolyte. CoSnO nanocubes exhibit long cycling life with 80% retention of initial capacitance after 2000 cycles and the excellent rate capability at 15 mA cm as much as 70% of that at 0.5 mA cm suggest its potential use for supercapacitor applications.

The main challenges of nanozyme-based tumor catalytic therapy (NCT) lie in the unsatisfactory catalytic activity accompanied by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME). A few nanozymes have been designed to possess both enzyme-like catalytic activities and photothermal properties; however, the previously reported nanozymes mainly utilize the inefficient and unsafe NIR-I laser, which has a low maximum permissible exposure limit and a limited penetration depth. Herein, we report for the first time an all-in-one strategy to realize mild NIR-II photothermally amplified NCT by synthesizing amorphous CoSnO nanocubes with efficient triple enzyme-like catalytic activities and photothermal conversion properties.

CoSnO, as a high theoretical capacity electrode material (1235 mAh g) for lithium storage, has been limited due to its low rate performance, huge volume expansion, and an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI). A rational design of the material structure including carbon coating can effectively solve the problems. To buffer the volume change and achieve a superior rate capability, hollow CoSnO nanocubes encapsulated in 1D N-doped carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were fabricated by electrospinning, showing a final discharge capacity of 733 mAh g with a 96% capacity retention after 800 cycles at a current rate of 1 A g and a brilliant rate performance (49% capacity maintenance with the current variation from 0.

Transition-metal oxides are promising anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and have attracted a great deal of attention because of their natural abundance and high theoretical capacities. However, they suffer from low conductivity and large volumetric/structural variation during sodiation/desodiation processes, leading to unsatisfactory cycling stability and poor rate capability. This study proposes a novel conversion reaction using CoSnO (CSO) nanocubes uniformly wrapped in graphene nanosheets, which are fabricated using a wet-chemical strategy followed by low-temperature heat treatment.

Interfacial engineering plays an important role in tuning the intrinsic property of electrode materials for energy applications such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which however is rarely realized to amorphous electrode materials, despite a set of characteristics of amorphous materials desirable for LIBs. Here, Au atomic cluster layer-interfaced amorphous porous CoSnO nanocubes were fabricated by galvanic replacement and employed as a superior LIB anode, showing high reversible capacity (1615 mAh g at 0.2 A g), good rate capability (1059 mAh g with a 61.

3D Graphene sheets encapsulated amorphous hollow CoSnO nanoboxes (H-CoSnO @reduced graphene oxide [RGO]) are successfully fabricated by first preparing 3D graphene oxides encapsulated solid CoSn(OH) nanocubes, followed by an alkaline etching process and subsequent heating treatment in Ar. The hollow CoSnO nanoboxes with average particle size of 230 nm are uniformly and tightly encapsulated by RGO sheets. As an anode material for Li-ion batteries, H-CoSnO @RGO displays high initial Coulombic efficiency of 87.
