Abstract

The aligned SnO₂ nanotube arrays on Si substrate have been prepared via liquid-phase deposition with the solution system of SnF₂ utilizing ZnO nanorod arrays as sacrificial template. The SnO₂ nanotubes are distributed uniformly and grown perpendicularly to the substrate. The SnO₂ nanotubes are rutile phase with the outside diameter of ~190-310 nm and the wall thickness of ~45 nm. The template-related growth mechanism for the formation of SnO₂ nanotube is investigated. Experimentally, the SnO₂ nanotube array shows an efficient field-emission property, which is favorable for realizing high performance cold cathode electron emitters.
