Facile Synthesis of Template-Induced SnO2 Nanotubes

الملخص EN

Large scale SnO2 nanotubes are successfully obtained by a facile hydrothermal method at a mild temperature.

The morphologies and the microstructures of the as-synthesized SnO2 products are characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

The average diameter of the nanotubes is about 100 nm.

The phase and composition of the as-obtained products are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD).

A series of comparison experiments were conducted by varying the experimental parameters, such as temperature, time, and the amount of the alkali, to study the formation mechanism of SnO2 nanotubes.
