Pristine SnO, Fe-doped SnO and Ni-doped SnO were synthesized using facile hydrothermal method. Analysis based on XRD, TEM and UV-Vis DRS measurements demonstrated the successful insertion of Fe and Ni dopants into SnO crystal. Formaldehyde-detection measurements revealed that transition metal-doped SnO exhibited improved formaldehyde-sensing properties compared with that of pristine SnO. When the amount of incorporated dopant (Fe or Ni) was 4 at.%, the most effective enhancement on sensing performance of SnO was obtained. At 160 °C, the 4 at.% Fe-SnO and 4 at.% Ni-SnO exhibited higher response values of 7.52 and 4.37 with exposure to low-concentration formaldehyde, respectively, which were 2.4 and 1.4 times higher than that of pristine SnO. The change of electronic structure and crystal structure as well as catalytic effect of transition metals are chiefly responsible for the enhanced sensing properties.

An appropriate electron transport layer (ETL) or cathode buffer layer (CBL) is critical for high-performance perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). In this work, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)-functionalized TiCT MXene (TBAOH-TiCT) is developed to improve the photovoltaic performance of PVSCs. TBAOH-TiCT is synthesized by HF etching and then TBAOH intercalation, and TBAOH can effectively attach to the TiCT surface during the intercalation process.

MXenes, a novel class of two-dimensional (2D) materials known for their excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity, have emerged as promising candidates for lithium-ion battery anodes. This study presents a simple wet-chemical method for depositing interconnected SnO nanoparticles (NPs) onto MXene sheets. The SnO NPs act as both a high-capacity energy source and a spacer to prevent MXene sheets from restacking.

The study utilized a simple and cost-effective approach to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance of various materials, including reduced graphene oxide (rGO), tin oxide nanostructures (SnO), and rGO/SnO composites. The composites examined were rS15, containing 15 mg of rGO and 45 mg of SnO, and rS5, with 5 mg of rGO and 50 mg of SnO, tested in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte. Notably, the rS5 electrode showed a significant increase in PEC efficiency in 0.

The kagome metal FeSn consists of alternating layers of kagome-lattice FeSn and honeycomb Sn and exhibits great potential for applications in future low-energy electronics and spintronics because of an ideal combination of topological phases and high-temperature magnetic ordering. Robust synthesis methods for ultrathin FeSn films, as well as an understanding of their air stability, are crucial for its development and long-term operation in future devices. In this work, we realize large-area, <10 nm thick, epitaxial FeSn thin films and explore the oxidation process synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy using oxygen and water dosing, as well as air exposure.

The construction of p-n heterojunctions is expected to be one of the effective means to improve gas sensitivity. In this research, p-n heterojunctions are successfully constructed by metal oxides derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs-derived bimetallic CoO/SnO microspheres are prepared by precipitation.
