Comprehensive review of micro/nanostructured ZnSnO3: characteristics, synthesis, and diverse applications

Abstract

Generally, zinc stannate (ZnSnO3) is a fascinating ternary oxide compound, which has attracted significant attention in the field of materials science due to its unique properties such high sensitivity, large specific area, non-toxic nature, and good compatibility. Furthermore, in terms of both its structure and properties, it is the most appealing category of nanoparticles. The chemical stability of ZnSnO3 under normal conditions contributes to its applicability in various fields. To date, its potential as a luminescent and photovoltaic material and application in supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, biosensors, gas sensors, and catalysts have been extensively studied. Additionally, the efficient energy storage capacity of ZnSnO3 makes it a promising candidate for the development of energy storage systems. This review focuses on the notable progress in the structural features of ZnSnO3 nanocomposites, including the synthetic processes employed for the fabrication of various ZnSnO3 nanocomposites, their intrinsic characteristics, and their present-day uses. Specifically, we highlight the recent progress in ZnSnO3-based nanomaterials, composites, and doped materials for their utilization in Li-ion batteries, photocatalysis, gas sensors, and energy storage and conversion devices. The further exploration and understanding of the properties of ZnSnO3 will undoubtedly lead to its broader implementation and contribute to the advancement of next-generation materials and devices.
