Furthermore, in terms of both its structure and properties, it is the most appealing category of nanoparticles. The chemical stability of ZnSnO3 under normal conditions contributes to its applicability in various fields. To date, its potential as a luminescent and photovoltaic material and application in supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, biosensors, gas sensors, and catalysts have been extensively studied. Additionally, the efficient energy storage capacity of ZnSnO3 makes it a promising candidate for the development of energy storage systems. This review focuses on the notable progress in the structural features of ZnSnO3 nanocomposites, including the synthetic processes employed for the fabrication of various ZnSnO3 nanocomposites, their intrinsic characteristics, and their present-day uses. Specifically, we highlight the recent progress in ZnSnO3-based nanomaterials, composites, and doped materials for their utilization in Li-ion batteries, photocatalysis, gas sensors, and energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Partial phase modification of zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) is an effective technique for improving its light absorption capacity. In this study, a zinc hydroxystannate/zinc-tin oxide (ZHS/ZTO) heterostructure was synthesized via chemical co-precipitation followed by annealing. The as-prepared heterostructure revealed cubic crystal morphology along with high-intensity diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern. The XPS analysis of ZHS/ZTO heterostructures demonstrated the presence of key elements (Zn, Sn, and O) in their most stable ionic forms. The photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of the prepared samples were tested against methyl orange (MO) and tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous medium under UVC (254 nm) radiation. Under optimized conditions, maximum degradation efficiencies of 99% for MO and 97% for TC were observed in 120 and 180 min, respectively. Further, the predominant role of OH˙ radicals in the photocatalytic removal of MO and TC was evident through scavenging experiments. 2nd order kinetic model was outperformed in simulating the degradation mechanism of both targets over 1st and zero-order kinetic models. Finally, a photocatalytic degradation mechanism is proposed based on the energy values estimated for the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) using UPS analysis.

Abstract
This work reports the synthesis of Mn-doped ZnSnO3 microspheres (Zn1-x Mn x SnO3) using a simple co-precipitation method with (x = 0 to 0.15) and characterized for structural, morphological, surface area, and sensing properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the face-centered cubic structure of Mn-doped ZnSnO3 samples. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis demonstrated the variation in surface area from 15.229 m2 g-1 to 42.999 m2 g-1 with x = 0 to 0.15 in Zn1-x Mn x SnO3. XPS indicates the change in the defect levels by Mn doping, which plays a crucial role in chemical sensors. Indeed a significant increase (≈311.37%) in CO gas sensing response was observed in the x = 0.10 sample compared to pure ZnSnO3 with a simultaneous reduction in operating temperature from 250 to 200 °C. Moreover, remarkable enhancements in response/recovery times (≈6.6/34.1 s) were obtained in the x = 0.10 sample. The Mn-doped ZnSnO3 could be a promising candidate for CO gas sensing devices used for maintaining air quality.

Abstract
In this study, pure zinc stannate (ZnSnO3) and bismuth (Bi)-doped ZnSnO3 composites (Bi-ZnSnO3) were synthesized via the in situ precipitation method, and their microstructures, morphologies, chemical components, sizes, and specific surface areas were characterized, followed by testing their gas sensing properties. The results revealed that Bi-ZnSnO3 showed superior gas sensing properties to n-butanol gas, with an optimal operating temperature of 300 °C, which was 50 °C lower than that of pure ZnSnO3. At this temperature, moreover, the sensitivity of Bi-ZnSnO3 to n-butanol gas at the concentration of 100 ppm reached as high as 1450.65, which was 35.57 times that (41.01) of ammonia gas, 2.93 times that (495.09) of acetone gas, 6.02 times that (241.05) of methanol gas, 2.54 times that (571.48) of formaldehyde gas, and 2.98 times that (486.58) of ethanol gas. Bi-ZnSnO3 had a highly repeatable performance. The total proportion of oxygen vacancies and chemi-adsorbed oxygen in Bi-ZnSnO3 (4 wt%) was 27.72% to 32.68% higher than that of pure ZnSnO3. Therefore, Bi-ZnSnO3 has considerable potential in detecting n-butanol gas by virtue of its excellent gas-sensing properties.

Abstract
In this work, the gas-sensing functionality of porous ceramic bodies formed by the slip casting technique was studied using perovskite nanoparticles of an MSnO3 system (M = Ba, Ca, Zn) synthesized by a chemical route. The performance and reliability of the sensitive materials in the presence of different volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, and toluene), and other gases (CO, H2 and NO2) were analysed. The ZnSnO3, BaSnO3, and CaSnO3 sensors showed sensitivities of 40, 16, and 8% ppm−1 towards acetone, ethanol, and toluene vapours, respectively. Good repeatability and selectivity were also observed for these gaseous analytes, as well as excellent stability for a period of 120 days. The shortest response times were recorded for the ZnSnO3 sensors (e.g., 4 s for 80 ppm acetone) with marked responses to low concentrations of acetone (1000 ppb). These results are attributed to the porosity of the sensitive materials, which favours the diffusion of gases, induces surface defects, and provides greater surface area and good sensitivity to acetone, as is seen in the case of ZnSnO3.

Abstract
Nanostructured semiconducting metal oxides (SMOs) are among the most popular sensing materials for integration into resistive-type gas sensors owing to their low costs and high sensing performances. SMOs can be decorated or doped with noble metals to further enhance their gas sensing properties. Ag is one of the cheapest noble metals, and it is extensively used in the decoration or doping of SMOs to boost the overall gas-sensing performances of SMOs. In this review, we discussed the impact of Ag addition on the gas-sensing properties of nanostructured resistive-based gas sensors. Ag-decorated or -doped SMOs often exhibit better responsivities/selectivities at low sensing temperatures and shorter response times than those of their pristine counterparts. Herein, the focus was on the detection mechanism of SMO-based gas sensors in the presence of Ag. This review can provide insights for research on SMO-based gas sensors.

Abstract
During the detection of formaldehyde, sensitivity and selectivity is still a challenging issue for most reported gas sensors. Herein, an alternative formaldehyde chemosensor that is based on porous ZnSnO3 nanocubes was synthesized. The products are characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM (HRTEM), XPS, PL measurements and N2 adsorption–desorption. The size of the ZnSnO3 nanocubes is about 100 nm and the corresponding specific surface area is 70.001 m2 g−1. A gas sensor based on these porous ZnSnO3 nanocubes shows high sensitivity and selectivity to formaldehyde. The porous ZnSnO3 nanocube sensor could detect 50 ppm formaldehyde at about 210 °C with a response value of 21.2, which is twice as much as ethanol, and 3 times that of the other five gases. Moreover, the response of the sensor had an acceptable change after a pulse test for 90 days. The sensor can detect formaldehyde with a minimum concentration of 1 ppm, and it has a good linear relationship between 1–50 ppm formaldehyde. The gas sensor based on porous ZnSnO3 nanocubes can be utilized as a promising candidate for a practical detector of formaldehyde due to its high gas response and excellent selectivity. The size of the ZnSnO3 nanocubes is about 100 nm with the corresponding specific surface area of 70.001 m2 g−1. A gas sensor based on porous ZnSnO3 nanocubes shows high sensitivity and selectivity to formaldehyde.![]()

Abstract
Contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs) spread across a wide range of organic product compounds. As biorecalcitrants, their removal from conventional wastewater treatment systems remains a herculean task. To address this issue, heterogenous solar driven advanced oxidation process based-TiO2 and other semiconductor materials has been extensively studied for their abatement from wastewater sources. In this study, we have synthesized by hydrothermal assisted co-precipitation Ag doped ZnSnO3. Structural and morphological characterizations were performed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), N2 adsorption-desorption at 77 K by Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda (BJH) methods, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy coupled with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and UV-visible absorption in Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis/DRS) mode. Crystallite size estimate for Ag-ZnSnO3 and undoped form was 19.4 and 29.3 nm, respectively, while respective TEM particle size estimate was 79.0 nm and 98.2 nm. BET surface area and total pore volume by BJH for Ag-ZnSnO3 were estimated with respective values of 17.2 m2/g and 0.05 cm3/g in comparison to 18.8 m2/g and 0.06 cm3/g for ZnSnO3. Derived energy band gap (Eg) values were 3.8 eV for Ag-ZnSnO3 and 4.2 eV for ZnSnO3. Photocatalytic performance of Ag-ZnSnO3 was tested towards caffeine achieving about 68% removal under (natural) unmodified pH = 6.50 and almost 100% removal at initial pH around 7.5 after 4 h irradiation. The effect of initial pH, catalyst dosage, pollutant concentration, charge scavengers, H2O2, contaminant inorganic ions (anions) as well as humic acid (HA) on the photocatalyst activity over caffeine degradation were assessed. In accordance with the probation test of the reactive species responsible for photocatalytic degradation process, a reaction mechanism was deduced.

Abstract
Recently, perovskite-based nanomaterials are utilized in diverse sustainable applications. Their unique structural characteristics allow researchers to explore functionalities towards diverse directions, such as solar cells, light emitting devices, transistors, sensors, etc. Many perovskite nanomaterial-based devices have been demonstrated with extraordinary sensing performance to various chemical and biological species in both solid and solution states. In particular, perovskite nanomaterials are capable of detecting small molecules such as O2, NO2, CO2, etc. This review elaborates the sensing applications of those perovskite materials with diverse cations, dopants and composites. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms and electron transport properties, which are important for understanding those sensor performances, will be discussed. Their synthetic tactics, structural information, modifications and real time sensing applications are provided to promote such perovskite nanomaterials-based molecular designs. Lastly, we summarize the perspectives and provide feasible guidelines for future developing of novel perovskite nanostructure-based chemo- and biosensors with real time demonstration.

MoS 2 nanosheets anchored on porous ZnSnO 3 cubes as an efficient visible-light-driven composite photocatalyst for the degradation of tetracycline and mechanism insight. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 390:122158. [PMID: 32004762 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 01/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
In this study, MoS2/ZnSnO3 (MS-ZSO) composite photocatalyst with loading MS nanosheets onto the surface of porous ZSO microcubes was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal route. The prepared MS-ZSO composite can be easily excited under visible light, and 3 % MS-ZSO exhibits an outstanding photo-degradation (>80 % in 60 min) and mineralization performance (>42 % in 60 min) of the tetracycline. A remarkable improvement in the photocatalytic activity of MS-ZSO composite derived from a positive synergistic effect of well-matched energy level positions, increasement the absorption of visible light, prolonged life time decay and improved interfacial charge transfer between MS and ZSO. In-depth investigation on charge carrier separation mechanism toward MS/ZSO composite under visible light was proposed, which was further evidenced by capture experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques. Furthermore, the corresponding intermediates of tetracycline degradation over MS-ZSO composites were inspected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, and the possible degradation paths were proposed.

ACS OMEGA 2020; 5:5209-5218. [PMID: 32201809 PMCID: PMC7081407 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.9b04243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles modified with uniformly dispersed silver (Ag) nanoparticles (Ag-ZnO) were prepared in one step by calcining precursor electrospun nanofibers. The molar ratios of Ag to Zn in the precursor solutions were 0, 1, 3, and 5%. The microstructure of the Ag-ZnO sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The existence of metallic Ag was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the gas sensing properties of Ag-ZnO were investigated. The results showed that the ZnO nanoparticles after Ag nanoparticles modification exhibited excellent gas sensing performance to ethanol and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The optimal working temperature of the Ag-ZnO sensor significantly decreased for ethanol compared with pure ZnO. The 3% Ag-ZnO sensor exhibited the fastest response to ethanol with the response/recovery times of only 5 and 9 s, respectively. However, all the Ag-ZnO-based gas sensors showed a high response value to H2S, especially the 3% Ag-ZnO gas sensor exhibited a maximum response value of 298 at 10 ppm H2S. These results could be attributed to the spillover effect and electron sensitization effect of Ag nanoparticles, which led to more absorbed oxygen species and active sites, and thereby can further enhance the gas sensing performances of ZnO-based gas sensors.
