Abstract

SnO2 hollow microtubes (MTs) are prepared by electrospinning. A detailed microstructure and mechanism study of the synthesized SnO2 MTs has been carried out. The SnO2 hollow MTs provide promising photocatalytic characteristics, with ultra-fast degradation and stable repeatability. These good degradation and repeatability characteristics are dominated by the large surface area and effective separation of photoinduced carriers provided by the MT morphology and fine particle size building the porous shell of SnO2 MTs.
