Topological morphology conversion towards SnO2/SiC hollow sphere nanochains with efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution†
Abstract
Novel SnO2/SiC hollow sphere nanochains were synthesized by topological morphology conversion of SnO2@C core–shell nanochains through a vapour–solid reaction. Evaluation of the SnO2/SiC HSNCs for the generation of hydrogen revealed that they exhibit excellent catalytic activity and durability.
