General description

Tin oxide is n type semiconductor with wide band gap. Thermal stability of tin oxide was studied. It′s unique characteristics such as low cost, high gas sensing abilities, low response time and fast recovery makes it a promising material for gas sensors. In addition, it has potential applications in detecting polluted or toxic gases and other species, as well as successful use in optoelectronic devices. Mesoporous tin oxide paste based photo anodes for solar cells. In this process, a printable paste with high viscosity is printed onto semi processed silica wafers using screen printing. This process resulted in integrated microarrays with excellent fabrication yield. Tin oxide nanoparticles may be synthesized by precipitation, hydrothermal, sol gel, hydrolytic, polymeric precursor method and carbothermal reduction.
Tin(IV) oxide nanopowder is a class of electrode material that can be used in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries consist of anode, cathode, and electrolyte with a charge-discharge cycle. These materials enable the formation of greener and sustainable batteries for electrical energy storage.

High-quality single-crystalline SnO₂ nanorods were synthesized using a microwave-assisted solution method. The nanorods were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible and Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and electrical resistance measurements.
