Electrochemical evaluation of nanocrystalline Zn-doped tin oxides as anodes for lithium ion microbatteries

Nanocomposite SnO2–Se thin film as anode material for lithium-ion batteries

“…On the other hand, Xie et al have reported that the diffusion coefficients D Li values are 10 À15 e10 À13 cm 2 s À1 for SnO 2 films by galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and suggest that Li-ion diffusion kinetics can be further enhanced by the introduction of other phases into tin oxide thin films [12]. Element doping, such as Zn [13], Sb [14] and F [15], into those nanostructured tin oxides have been confirmed as an effective way. These doped elements could lead to the formation of finer surface morphology and smaller crystallite size, which would provide more reaction sites and facilitate the diffusion of Li, and made it more capable of accommodating the volume changes in cycling.…”

Optical properties of Zinc doped tin oxide synthesized by mechanochemical processing

“…Lattice constant was calculated from the XRD peak positions using least square method. The strongly shrinkage of the lattice constant could be due to smaller ionic radius of Sn 2+ (1.10 Å) [11] substituted in place of Zn 2+ (0.74 Å) site [3]. Since the ionic radius of Zn 2+ is less than that of Sn 2+ , Zn atoms are most likely to be located in Sn positions in the crystallite bulk.…”

“…(1) [12] where d is the mean crystallite size, k is a constant usually equal to 0.9, λ the wavelength of Cu Kα (λ = 1.5405 Å), B the full width at half maximum intensity of the peak (FWHM) in radian and θ is Bragg's diffraction angle [3]. Due to the figure, the crystalline sizes were increased from.…”

“…These applications are due to it novelties such as high transparency, high conduction, high chemical stability even at high temperatures and high sensitivity for gas-sensing applications [1]. Zn was used as a dopant in order to form stable bonds [3]. Nanosized SnO 2 has been produced via several methods; including sol-gel [4], spray pyrolysis [2], pulsed laser ablation [5], chemical vapour deposition [6], sputtering and many others [7].…”

Facile synthesis of honeycomb structured SnO/SnO2 nanocomposites by microwave irradiation method

“…[26,27]. The nanosized SnO 2 is small enough to enlarge the dynamic surface of the particles and it can be influenced by the size and shape, imperfections for example oxygen unfilled, which can be active as radiative in luminescence systems [28][29][30][31][32]. SnO/SnO 2 and core/ shell structured materials have been developed in recent past and its major progress was shown in the field of electronics and sensor, particularly in gas sensors with excellent selectivity and sensitivity compared to other materials [33,34].…”
