Intergrowth and coexistence effects of TiO2–SnO2 nanocomposite with excellent photocatalytic activity

ZnO decorated Sn3O4 nanosheet nano-heterostructure: a stable photocatalyst for water splitting and dye degradation under natural sunlight

“…[18][19][20][21][22] In this regard, there are various reports available on different coupled metal oxides, such as SnO 2 -ZnO, TiO 2 -WO 3 , CZTS-TiO 2 , Bi 2 O 3 / Bi 5 O 7 NO 3 , ZnO-SnO 2 and TiO 2 -SnO 2 . [23][24][25][26][27][28] Recently, heterovalent tin oxide (Sn 3 O 4 ) with various nanomorphs, including nanosheets, nanoowers, nanobelts, nanolayers, etc., has been used as a potential catalyst due to its narrow band gap and chemical stability. [29][30][31][32] The photocatalytic performance of pristine Sn 3 O 4 is believed to be due to the variable oxidation state of Sn: i.e.…”

Structural, textural, surface chemistry and sensing properties of mesoporous Pr, Zn modified SnO 2 –TiO 2 powder composites

“…oxides) is one way to obtain new materials with improved properties in comparison with their separate components. For example, in the last years there have been reported many papers related to the combination of ZnO, TiO 2 and SnO 2 [1,2] aiming to obtain materials with tailored structural, optical, electrical and sensoristic [2][3][4][5] or photocatalytic properties [1,6]. This is due to the high applicative potential of the metallic oxides in various fields as optics, electronics, or even biological domain [7].…”

Enhanced hydrothermal stability and oxygen storage capacity of La3+ doped CeO2-γ-Al2O3 intergrowth mixed oxides

“…We previously found strong intergrowth interactions between CeO 2 and γ-Al 2 O 3 oxide crystallites during synthesis. These interactions considerably influence the microstructure and crystal growth of coexisting oxides [12], consequently increasing the hydrothermal stability of γ-Al 2 O 3 [13]. Despite the availability of the literature in this field, intergrowth oxides based on biphasic intergrowth CeO 2 -γ-Al 2 O 3 mixed oxides and hetero-valent cations are rarely reported.…”
