Tin oxide nanostructures and methods of fabricating tin oxide nanostructures
are disclosed. Representative nanostructures include SnO2 nanowires,
SnO2 nanoribbons, and SnO2 nanotubes. Another representative
nanostructure includes a nanostructure having a rutile crystal lattice and an orthorhombic
crystal superlattice. The nanostructure can include, but is not limited to, SnO2
nanowires, SnO2 nanoribbons, and SnO2 nanotubes.
