摘要
Novel hierarchical sea urchin-like hollow core-shell SnO2 superstructures have been fabricated by a template-free hydrothermal method, based on an inside-out Ostwald ripening mechanism. For comparison, hollow SnO2 spheres were also prepared. It is found that the sea urchin-like hollow core-shell SnO2 superstructures exhibit nearly three times better response to ethanol than the hollow SnO2 spheres. The superior sensing performance is plausibly originated from the unique hierarchical core-shell structure with the nano-sized spikes (5-15 nm in diameter) on the shells. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
