Abstract

Recently, electrochemical oxidation water treatment is a promising method to solve environmental pollution issues. During the electrochemical oxidation process, electrode material is a critical factor affecting the treatment efficiency. Sb-doped SnO2 electrodes are reported as superiors for the decomposition of organic matters from water through the oxidation process. But the weak electrochemical stability is also a drawback of SnO2 electrodes, which limits their application. This article tries to review SnO2-based electrodes, which focuses on clarifying their stability and the application in water treatment as well as indicating future research prospects with the aim to highlight the attractive features of this electrode. Specifically, the properties and electrochemical oxidation mechanisms of SnO2-based electrodes for different pollutants are presented. Furthermore, typical methods for preparation of SnO2 electrodes along with respective nanostructures synthesized processes are also shown. Moreover, several studies on the application of SnO2-based electrodes in the treatment of different contaminated-water sources such as textiles, landfills, and phenol wastewaters are reviewed. In addition, recent research trends on development of SnO2-based electrodes and their recyclability are reported. As a result, this study indicates that the stability and electrochemical performance of SnO2-based electrodes can be increased by many approaches including doping metal oxide, new fabrication routes, and combining TiO2 nanotubes with SnO2. The study also indicates some operational parameters, which need to be considered thoroughly for the practical applicability of SnO2 electrodes in wastewater treatment.
