Large-Scale, Solution-Phase Growth of Single-Crystalline SnO2 Nanorods

Abstract
Small-diameter (2 nanorods were synthesized in solution with a mean length of 17 ± 4 nm (mean aspect ratio of 4:1) with the [001] direction along the major axis. Two characteristic peaks at 576 and 356 cm-1 in the Raman spectrum further confirmed the small crystal size. The SnO2 nanorods exhibit a red emission at 580 nm.
