Abstract

The growth-direction-selective synthesis of soluble tin oxide (SnO ₂) nanorods and bipods with small diameters based on the oleylamine-assited hydrolysis of tin alkoxide in the presence of oleic acid was reported. Measurements of the photocurrent action spectras were performed in a home-built PEC (photochemical properties), in order to examine the PEC properties of SnO₂ nanomaterials. Mott-Schottky (MS) measurements were performed in darkness by using the impedance technique, to understand the difference in electronic properties. The SnO₂) biped electrode showed a large negative shift of the conduction band. The broad photocurrent feature of SnO₂) bipods suggested light conversion efficiency due to the effective utilization of visible light. The photocurrent action spectra, Mott-Schottky plots, and the PL emission spectra revealed that every SnO ₂ electrode had unique photoelectrochemical properties.
