Controlled synthesis of SnO2 hollow microspheres via a facile template-free hydrothermal route
Hollow rutile-like SnO2 microspheres were synthesized via a facile template-free hydrothermal method at 160 degrees C for 5-28 h. The as-prepared samples were characterized with XRD, SEM, and PL. A possible formation mechanism of the hollow spheres is briefly discussed.
