Abstract
Abstract Large scale SnO microhydrangeas are obtained successfully through thermally evaporating of SnO2 powder wrapped by a filter paper at 1050°C and using gold coated Si wafer as the substrate. The as-obtained SnO microhydrangeas are consisted of many thin nanosheets with the thicknesses of 30–60 nm and the diameters of 500–600 nm. A vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism for the as-synthesized SnO microhydrangeas was proposed based on experimental results. Photoluminescence spectrum (PL) shows that there is a strong sharp ultraviolet emission peak at 390 nm, revealing that these three-dimensional SnO microhydrangeas may have potential applications in optoelectronic fields.

As is known, SnO is technologically important as a p-type semiconductor, which is a key functional material that has been widely studied for various potential applications [12]
We present a Thermally vapor deposition approach for the controlled growth of SnO microhydrangeas
Summary
Large scale SnO microhydrangeas are obtained successfully through thermally evaporating of SnO2 powder wrapped by a filter paper at 1050°C and using gold coated Si wafer as the substrate. As is known, SnO is technologically important as a p-type semiconductor, which is a key functional material that has been widely studied for various potential applications [12]. Synthesis of hydrangealike SnO structure with thin nanosheet assemblies is rarely reported [20]. We present a Thermally vapor deposition approach for the controlled growth of SnO microhydrangeas.
