Abstract
Abstract Semiconductor tin oxide (SnO 2 ) nanotubes have been synthesised in bulk quantities using a sol–gel template (AAO membrane) synthetic technique. The morphology and crystal structure of SnO 2 nanotubes were characterised by a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The as-prepared SnO 2 nanotubes are polycrystalline with an outer diameter of 200 nm, an inner diameter of about 150 nm and a length extending to tens of micrometers. SnO 2 nanotube sensors exhibited high sensitivity towards ethanol gas.
