Abstract

Porous SnO2 nanoplatelets are successfully synthesized by calcinations of SnS2 nanoplatelets. Interestingly, the measurement of dye-sensitized solar cells shows that porous SnO2 nanoplatelets is a good candidate of photoelectrode materials in dye-sensitized solar cells with large improvement in photoconversion efficiency. More importantly, the as-prepared porous SnO2 nanoplatelets also exhibit good gas-sensing properties to ethanol.
