Novel synthesis of tin dioxide nanoribbons via a mild solution approach
Single crystalline tin dioxide nanoribbons have been synthesized in bulk quantity by a mild solution approach using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant as a soft template. The as-synthesized SnO2 nanoribbons have a length up to tens of micrometers, width of several hundred nanometers, and thickness of several tens of nanometers.
