Abstract
Well-crystalline SnO2 nanorods have been synthesized successfully via a lithium-assistedsolution-phase method. The structural and optical properties of theSnO2 nanorods were investigated using x-ray powder diffraction, transmissionelectron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, andinfrared, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The experimentalresults show that lithium addition plays a critical role in the formation ofSnO2 nanorods, and the correlation between the surface energy change and morphologicalevolution of this material is also discussed. This approach provides an economically viableroute for large-scale synthesis of this nanostructured material.
