Abstract

Abstract:

A designed solution route was developed to fabricate size tunable SnO₂ hollow microspheres based on the sol-gel theory. The hydrolysis of SnSO₄ released protons to form SnO₂ particulates and induced the decrease of pH value. To minimize the high surface energy, the SnO₂ particulates tended to assemble into large particles, the size of which was affected by the electrolyte concentration or pH value. Elevating SnSO₄ content aroused the decrease of the pH value that directed to the shrinkage of the aggregated particle size of SnO₂. Size tunable SnO₂ hollow microspheres were then rationally fabricated under solvothermal conditions via Ostwald ripening by simply adjusting the SnSO₄ concentration. The in situ pH decrease directed to the shrinkage of the particle size from 270 nm to 112 nm. The formation mechanism was confirmed and rationally elucidated by the time dependant morphology evolution. Charge-discharge tests revealed that the reduced particle size aroused an improved lithium ion battery performance.

Key words: Hollow microsphere, Solvothermal synthesis, Nanocrystalline material, Tin oxide
