Synthesis And Characterization Of Tin Iv Oxide (sno2) Nanoparticles For Energy Applications

ABSTRACT Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) or Super capacitors (SCs) are energy saving devices which have excellent properties that include high power density, long cycle life, low temperature sensitivity and low maintenance cost. However, these devices have lower energy densities than conventional batteries. To improve on its energy density, SnO2 which is a metal oxide was considered as an electrode material because of its chemical inertness and thermal stability. SnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the hydrothermal and water-in-oil micro emulsion techniques. Well crystalline particles …
