Abstract
Nano tin oxide is a typical n-type semiconductor material with special photoelectric and gas sensing properties. Hence, to study the nano tin oxide cladding carbon nanotubes, it will make for changing the semiconductor, optical, electrical, sensitive and thermal properties of carbon nanotubes, thereby facilitating the application of carbon nanotubes in the fields of ceramic, optoelectronic and gas sensing materials. This paper takes SnCl4, 5H2O and NaOH as raw materials to fully dope the tin oxide and the carbon nanotubes by one-step hydrothermal method, whereby the tin oxide cladding carbon nanotube composites SnO2/CNTs is available. More than that, various characterization technologies are introduced here to analyze and discuss the structure of the composite in detail, in conjunction with its electrochemical property.
