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.
