SnO₂-based high-capacity anode materials are attractive candidate for the next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries since the theoretical capacity of SnO₂ can be ideally extended from 781 to 1494 mAh g^-1. Here 3D etched Cu foam is applied as a current collector for electron path and simultaneously a substrate for the SnO₂ coating, for developing an integrated electrode structure. We fabricate the 3D etched Cu foam through an auto-catalytic electroless plating method, and then coat the SnO₂ onto the self-supporting substrate through a simple sol-gel method. The catalytic dissolution of Cu metal makes secondary pores of both several micrometers and several tens of micrometers at the surface of Cu foam strut, besides main channel-like interconnected pores. Especially, the additional surface pores on etched Cu foam are intended for penetrating the individual strut of Cu foam, and thereby increasing the surface area for SnO₂ coating by using even the internal of Cu foam. The increased areal capacity with high structural integrity upon cycling is demonstrated in the SnO₂-coated 3D etched Cu foam. This study not only prepares the etched Cu foam using the spontaneous chemical reactions but also demonstrates the potential for electroless plating method about surface modification on various metal substrates.

The creation of vertically aligned one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures through the decoration of n-type tin oxide (SnO₂) on p-type chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) constitutes an effective strategy for enhancing gas sensing performance. These heterostructures are deposited in multiple stages using a glancing angle deposition technique with an electron beam evaporator, resulting in a reduction in the surface porosity of the nanorods as SnO₂ is incorporated. In comparison to Cr₂O₃ films, the bare Cr₂O₃ nanorods exhibits a response 3.3 times greater to 50 ppm H₂S at 300℃, while the SnO₂-decorated Cr₂O₃ nanorods demonstrate an eleven-fold increase in response. Furthermore, when subjected to various gases (CH₄, H₂S, CO₂, H₂), a notable selectivity toward H₂S is observed. This study paves the way for the development of p-type semiconductor sensors with heightened selectivity and sensitivity towards H₂S, thus advancing the prospects of gas sensor technology.

SnO₂ single layer and SnO₂/Ag/SnO₂ (SAS) tri-layered films were deposited on the glass substrate by RF and DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature and then the effect of Ag interlayer on the opto-electrical performance of the films were considered. As deposited SnO₂ films show a visible transmittance of 85.5 % and a sheet resistance of 1.2×10⁴ Ω/□, the SAS films with a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer show a lower resistance of 18.8 Ω/□ and a visible transmittance of 70.6 %, respectively. The figure of merit based on the optical transmittance and sheet resistance revealed that the Ag interlayer in the SnO₂ films enhances the opto-electrical performance without substrate heating or annealing process.

Recently, the electron transport layer (ETL) has become one of the key components for high-performance perovskite solar cell (PSC). This study is motivated by the nonreproducible performance of ETL made of spin coated SnO₂ applied to a PSC. We made a comparative study between tin oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or spin coating to be used as an ETL in N-I-P PSC. 15 nm-thick Tin oxide thin films were deposited by ALD using tetrakisdimethylanmiotin (TDMASn) and using reactant ozone at 120 ℃. PSC using ALD SnO₂ as ETL showed a maximum efficiency of 18.97 %, and PSC using spin coated SnO₂ showed a maximum efficiency of 18.46 %. This is because the short circuit current (Jsc) of PSC using the ALD SnO₂ layer was 0.75 mA/cm² higher than that of the spin coated SnO₂. This result can be attributed to the fact that the electron transfer distance from the perovskite is constant due to the thickness uniformity of ALD SnO₂. Therefore ALD SnO₂ is a candidate as a ETL for use in PSC vacuum deposition.

Nanosized $SnO_2$ particles were synthesized by homogeneous precipitation method using tin chloride ($SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_{2}O$) and urea ($CO(NH_2)_2$). The powders were heated at $500^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The crystal structure, microstructure, thermal behavior, specific surface area were analyzed using XRD, FE-SEM, TGA and BET, respectively. The initial resistance and the $H_2$ sensing properties were measured as a function of ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and Pd doping concentrations. The resistance was decreased with the addition of ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and the sensitivity for $H_2$ gas was increased with the addition of Pd. Thus, the optimum $H_2$ gas sensing property was obtained in the 0.25.mol% ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and 1.w% added $SnO_2$ powders.

전기화학적 이산화탄소 (CO₂) 환원은 CO₂를 고부가가치의 탄소화합물로 전환하는 매우 유망한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 양극 산화법과 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 전기화학적 CO₂ 환원용 SnO₂/Cu(OH)₂ 나노와이어 (NWs) 전극을 합성하는 손쉬운 방법과 그 특성에 대해 보고한다. 제작된 SnO₂/Cu(OH)₂ NWs (-16 mA/cm²)는 -1.0 V (vs. RHE)에서 Cu(OH)₂ NWs (-6 mA/cm²) 대비 더 우수한 전기화학적 성능을 보였다. CO₂ 환원 성능을 확인해 보았을 때도 일산화탄소(CO), 포름산염 (HCOOH) 생성물에 대해 각각 29.72 %, 58.01 %의 높은 페러데이 효율 (FE)을 보였다. 본 연구는 CO₂ 배출로 인한 기후 변화에 대응하는 경제적이며 지속 가능한 방법을 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 전기화학적 CO₂ 환원용 전극 개발에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

수열합성법을 이용하여 $Zn_2GeO_4$ 및 $Zn_2SnO_4$ 나노선을 대량 합성하였고 리튬이온 전지와 소듐이온전지의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 리튬이온전지에서 $Zn_2GeO_4$ 나노선은 50 사이클 이후에 1021 mAh/g, $Zn_2SnO_4$ 나노선은 692 mAh/g의 높은 방전용량을 갖는 것을 확인하였고 두 나노선 모두 98%가 넘는 쿨롱 효율을 보였다. 따라서 이들 나노선은 고성능 리튬이온전지의 개발을 위한 음극소재로 기대된다. 또한 소듐이온전지에 대한 관심이 국내는 물론 전 세계적으로 집중이 되고 있어 처음으로 $Zn_2GeO_4$과 $Zn_2SnO_4$ 나노선에 대한 소듐이온전지를 제작하여 용량을 측정하였다. 측정한 결과 이들 나노선은 50 사이클 이후에 각각 168 mAh/g 과 200 mAh/g의 방전용량을 갖는 것을 확인하였고 두 나노선 모두 97%가 넘는 높은 쿨롱 효율을 보였으며 이에 우리의 첫 시도가 앞으로 많은 연구에 기여할 것으로 예상한다.

To study the characteristics of ZTO, which is made using a target mixed $ZnO:SnO_2=1:1$, the ZnO and $SnO_2$ were analyzed using PL, XRD patterns, and electrical properties. Resulting characteristics were compared with the electrical characteristics of ZnO, $SnO_2$, and ZTO. The electrical characteristics of ZTO were found to improve with increasing of the annealing temperature due to the high degree of crystal structures at high temperature. The crystal structure of $SnO_2$ was also found to increase with increasing temperatures. So, the structure of ZTO was found to be affected by the annealing temperature and the molecules of $SnO_2$; the optical property of ZTO was similar to that of ZnO. Among the ZTO films, ZTO annealed at the highest temperature showed the highest capacitance and Schottky contact.

[ $SnO_2$ ]-doped $TiO_2$ thin films were prepared from tin (IV) bis (acetylacetonate) dichloride and titanium diisopropoxide bis (acetylacetonate) with pluronic P123 or degussa P25 as a structural-directing agent. These hydrolyzed sol were spin coated onto Si(100) wafer substrate. The microstructure, morphology and bonding states of thin films were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of these films was investigated by using indigo carmine solution.
