This CrystEngComm Hot article describes the fabrication of SnO2/α-Fe2O3 nanoheterostructures by a hydrothermal process.
The structures are made of iron oxide nanoprisms with tin dioxide nanorods on the inner and outer surfaces, which gives them superior visible light photocatalytic properties. The authors believe this is due to ‘the effective electron-hole separation at the SnO2/α-Fe2O3 interfaces’.
