Preparation of zinc stannate (zto) nanostructures through high-temperature solid-state reactions using zno and stannic oxide (sno2) powders

Zinc stannate or zinc tin oxide (ZTO) is a class of ternary oxides that are known for their stable properties under extreme conditions, higher electron mobility compared to its binary counterparts and other interesting optical properties. The material is thus ideal for applications from solar cells and sensors to photocatalysts
