What is it about?

SnO2 nanomicropheres were prepared via hydro-thermal method, then the structure and micromorphology were characterized by XRD and SEM. The photocatalytic degradation ability of microspheres was studied by ultraviolet absorp- tion. The material was pure SnO2 nanomicrospheres with good crystallinity, uniform size, good dispersion, and strong photocatalytic degradation.

Why is it important?

Tin oxide (SnO2),with tetragonal rutile structure is an importantwide band gapmetal oxide semicon- ductormaterial. Because of the unique gas sensing, photoelectric properties and specialmicrostructure

Perspectives

Because of the unique gas sensing, photoelectric properties and specialmicrostructure of tin oxide , it has been applied in many fields, such as gas sensing element, photo catalyst, optoelectronic device, gas sensors, electrode material for Li ion battery, solar cells, glass coating and so on. So, it has caused the interest of many researchers, and the research on it is also more and more deeply. traditional nanoparticles to nanowires, nanobelts, nanotubes, nanorods, nanocones, nanocube struc-
