Tailoring of highly porous SnO2 and SnO2-Pd thin films
2019
Abstract Tin oxide is a material that attracts attention due to variety of technological applications. The main parameters that influence its properties are morphology, crystalline structure and stoichiometry. Researchers try to develop nanostructured thin films with tunable parameters that would conform its technological applications. Herein, we report on the preparation and characterization of highly porous SnO2 and Pd-doped SnO2 thin films. These films were deposited in the form of nanorods with controllable geometry. Such morphology was achieved by utilizing glancing angle deposition (GLAD) with assisted magnetron sputtering. This arrangement allowed preparation of slanted pillars, zig-…
Electrochemically shape-controlled transformation of magnetron sputtered platinum films into platinum nanostructures enclosed by high-index facets
2017
Abstract A new method based on transformation of magnetron sputtered platinum thin films into platinum nanostructures enclosed by high-index facets, using electrochemical potential cycling in a twin working electrode system is reported. The controllable formation of various Pt nanostructures, described in this paper, indicates that this method can be used to control a selective growth of high purity Pt nanostructures with specific shapes (facets or edges). The method opens up new possibilities for electrochemical preparation of nanostructured Pt catalysts at high yield.
