Abstract:
Single crystalline zinc stannate (Zn(2)SnO(4) and ZnSnO(3)) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal reaction with a high production yield. Zn(2)SnO(4) is a (111) face-exposed octahedron, whereas ZnSnO(3) is a (100) face-exposed hexahedron structure. In particular, Zn(2)SnO(4) exhibits an efficient performance for applications in dye-sensitized solar cells.
