Band Gap Tunable Zn(2)SnO(4 )Nanocubes through Thermal Effect and Their Outstanding Ultraviolet Light Photoresponse

This work presents a method for synthesis of high-yield, uniform and band gap tunable Zn(2)SnO(4) nanocubes. These nanocubes can be further self-assembled into a series of novel nanofilms with tunable optical band gaps from 3.54 to 3.18 eV by simply increasing the heat treatment temperature. The Zn(...

description This work presents a method for synthesis of high-yield, uniform and band gap tunable Zn(2)SnO(4) nanocubes. These nanocubes can be further self-assembled into a series of novel nanofilms with tunable optical band gaps from 3.54 to 3.18 eV by simply increasing the heat treatment temperature. The Zn(2)SnO(4) nanocube-nanofilm based device has been successfully fabricated and presents obviously higher photocurrent, larger photocurrent to dark current ratio than the previously reported individual nanostructure-based UV-light photodetectors, and could be used in high performance photodetectors, solar cells, and electrode materials for Li-ion battery.
