Abstract
Zigzag SnO2 nanobelts have been synthesized by evaporating tin grain in air. XRD, SEM, and TEM were employed to characterize the prepared samples. SEM images showed large amounts of zigzag nanobelts with periodic morphology. XRD result showed a pure tetragonal SnO2 phase. HRTEM and SAED revealed a single crystal structure with [010] zone axis on the whole zigzag zone. The zigzag structure is deduced to be formed by shifting the growth direction from [101] to [101̄] or vice versa. Growing nanobelts along different equivalent directions opens a new avenue for the preparation of novel nanostructured materials.Keywords
