Abstract

Novel nanoribbons of single crystalline SnO₂ have been successfully synthesized by simple thermal evaporation of SnO or SnO₂ powders at high temperatures. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the nanoribbons are structurally perfect and uniform, with widths of 30-200 nm, width-to-thickness ratio of ∼5-10, and lengths of several hundred micrometers to a few millimeters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis indicate that the nanoribbons have the same crystal structure and chemical composition found in the rutile form of SnO₂. Electron diffraction (ED) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal that the nanoribbons grow along the [101] crystal direction and they are bounded by (010)/(01̄0) and (101̄)/(1̄01) crystal facets.
