Tin dioxide (SnO)-based electronic materials and gas sensors have attracted extensive attention from academia and industry. Herein we report the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) porous SnO flakes by thermal oxidation of 2D SnS flakes that serve as a self-sacrificial template. An oxidation-enabled, temperature-dependent matter conversion from SnS through three-phase SnS-SnS-SnO (400 °C) and two-phase SnS-SnO (600 °C) to pure-phase SnO (≥800 °C) is disclosed by means of combined XRD, TG-DSC and XPS studies. Meanwhile, the associated chemical reactions and the mass and heat changes during this solid-state conversion process are clarified. The as-prepared 2D SnO flakes exhibit structural porosity with tunable pore sizes and crystallite sizes/crystallinity, resulting in superior potential for NO sensing. At the optimized operating temperature of 200 °C, the prototype gas sensors made of porous SnO flakes show competitive sensing parameters in a broad NO concentration range of 50 ppb-10 ppm in terms of high response, faster response/recovery speeds, and good selectivity and stability. A sensing mechanism involving the adsorption and desorption of NO/O molecules and the possible surface reactions is further rationalized for the SnO NO gas sensors.

Alloying-type anodes including Si- and Sn-based materials are considered the most exploitable anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. However, problems of poor kinetics properties and structural failures such as grain pulverization and coarsening hinder their large-scale application. Herein, SnO/Si@graphite hybrid anodes, with nano-SnO and nano-Si thoroughly mixed with each other and loaded onto graphite flakes, have been prepared by a facile ball milling method.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and metal chalcogenides (MCs), despite their excellent gas sensing properties, are subjected to spontaneous oxidation in ambient air, negatively affecting the sensor's signal reproducibility in the long run. Taking advantage of spontaneous oxidation, we synthesized fully amorphous -SnO 2D flakes (≈30 nm thick) by annealing in air 2D SnSe for two weeks at temperatures below the crystallization temperature of SnO ( < 280 °C). These engineered -SnO interfaces, preserving all the precursor's 2D surface-to-volume features, are stable in dry/wet air up to 250 °C, with excellent baseline and sensor's signal reproducibility to HS (400 ppb to 1.
