Abstract

In this paper, we successfully synthesized urchin-like hollow sphere shaped ZnSn(OH)₆ by a 2-step hydrothermal synthesis process. During the synthesis process, the sphere shape was used as a template and formed based on Pearson's hard and soft acid and base (HSABs) theory. The rod shape on the outside of sphere is SnO₂, it was characterized by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrum. The crystal phase of ZnSn(OH)₆ with different shape changes to Zn₂SnO₄/SnO₂ through annealing process at 800 °C. Finally, we measured photocatalyst and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based on the advantages of composite material and morphology-modulation. As a result, urchin-like hollow sphere shaped Zn₂SnO₄/SnO₂ achieved the best efficiency in all applications.
