title: Fabrication of cubic Zn2SnO4/SnO2 complex hollow structures and their sunlight-driven photocatalytic activity.
abstract: Uniform hollow, yolk-shell and double-shell Zn2SnO4/SnO2 nanoparticles with cubic morphologies have been synthesized using "etching-second growth-annealed" methods. Due to the high light-harvesting efficiency and low recombination rate of the photo-generated electron-hole pair, double-shell structures of Zn2SnO4/SnO2 nanoparticles show an obvious improvement in photocatalytic activity.
