Abstract

We successfully synthesized hierarchical SnO2 flower-like architectures assembled with nanorods via a facile hydrothermal route under mild condition. The structures and morphologies of the obtained hierarchical architectures were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. By varying hydrothermal reaction time, we obtained the sphere-like and flower-like SnO2. The evolution that the morphology changing from sphere-like to flower-like was systematically investigated. Moreover, the mechanism of formation for this structure was proposed in detail.
