Abstract

Rational design and controlled synthesis of semiconducting metal oxide materials with nanoscopic structures and unique properties have been an interesting area. In this work, a large scale of tin dioxide nanowires (SnO2 NWs) on Ti foils are synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method at 180 °C. The results show that SnO2 NWs have a single crystalline structure with an average diameter of 40 nm and a large surface area. The SnO2 NWs exhibit excellent performance in both adsorption and degradation of methylene blue due to the high surface area and photocatalytic property. The photochemical sensing of glucose by the as-obtained material presents a low detection limit and high sensitivity, ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 mM.
