Enzymatic Electrochemical Biosensor from Eu‐Doped SnO2 Embedded in MXene for High Performance Sensing Lactate

“…Among them, SnO 2 is a well‐known wide‐gap (3.5–4.0 eV) n‐type semiconductor with a tetragonal crystal structure, which has high conductivity, chemical stability, and low cost [17,18] . It is widely used in various fields such as gas sensors, electrode materials, lithium‐ion batteries, solar cells, and photocatalysis [19,20] . SnO 2 has a high initial resistance, including oxygen vacancy and inter‐lattice oxygen.…”

“…[17,18] It is widely used in various fields such as gas sensors, electrode materials, lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and photocatalysis. [19,20] SnO 2 has a high initial resistance, including oxygen vacancy and inter-lattice oxygen. Its detecting mechanism is believed to be grounded on the interfacial reaction of semiconductor oxides.…”

Recent advances in morphologically controlled synthesis of graphene oxide‐based nanocomposite as catalyst and fuel additive

“…These transition metal oxide nanoparticles can show unique chemical and physical properties due to their limited particle size (0-100 nm) and larger edge surface sites. [22] Various researcher has synthesized a larger number of transition metal oxides via using different techniques such as zinc oxide (ZnO), [23] nickel oxide (NiO), [24] ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), [25] tin oxide (SnO 2 ), [26] titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), [27] and cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ). [28] To date, TiO 2 is now regarded as the most promising photocatalyst for organic pollutant degradation because of its outstanding electrical and optical characteristics, nontoxicity, high chemical stability, friendliness to the environment, and low cost.…”

Highly efficient photodegradation of raw landfill leachate using cost-effective and optimized g-C3N4/SnO2/WO3 quantum dots under Vis–NIR light

“…Despite these advantages, the applied usage of SnO 2 as an effective photocatalytic semiconductor is limited because of its rapid photoinduced electron-hole recombination and low photocatalytic efficiency under visible light 18,19 . However, SnO 2 has been widely used to combine with different semiconductors like Fe 2 O 3 , CuO, TiO 2 , ZnO, SnO, and ZnS because of its relatively proper conduction band potential of 0.5-1.0 eV, which makes it an excellent choice to be used as an electron acceptor to make hybrid composites and promote separation of electrons and holes under visible light [20][21][22][23] . Combining SnO 2 and CN with a relatively negative conduction band potential of − 1.0 to − 1.5 eV leads to improvement of photocatalytic efficiency due to forming systems with correlated band structures.…”
