For a very long period, tin was considered one of the most important metals for humans due to its easy access in nature and abundance of sources. In the past, tin was mainly used to make various utensils and weapons. Today, nanostructured tin and especially its oxide materials have been found to possess many characteristic physical and chemical properties that allow their use as functional materials in various fields such as energy storage, photocatalytic process, gas sensors, and solar cells. This review discusses current methods for the synthesis of Sn/SnO composite materials in form of powder or thin film, as well as the application of the most advanced characterization tools based on large-scale synchrotron radiation facilities to study their chemical composition and electronic features. In addition, the applications of Sn/SnO composites in various fields are presented in detail.
在很长一段时间里，由于锡在自然界中易于获取且来源丰富，它被认为是对人类最重要的金属之一。过去，锡主要用于制造各种器具和武器。如今，人们发现纳米结构的锡，尤其是其氧化物材料，具有许多独特的物理和化学性质，使其能够在能量存储、光催化过程、气体传感器和太阳能电池等各个领域用作功能材料。本文综述了目前合成粉末或薄膜形式的Sn/SnO复合材料的方法，以及基于大型同步辐射设施的最先进表征工具在研究其化学成分和电子特性方面的应用。此外，还详细介绍了Sn/SnO复合材料在各个领域的应用。
