Zn2SnO4
Zinc tin oxide, with the chemical formula Zn2SnO4, is an inorganic compound belonging to the family of mixed metal oxides. It crystallizes in the spinel structure, a common arrangement for oxides with the general formula AB2O4. In the spinel structure, the cations occupy specific tetrahedral and octahedral sites within a cubic close-packed lattice of oxygen anions. For Zn2SnO4, zinc ions typically occupy tetrahedral sites and tin ions occupy octahedral sites, although cation disorder can exist.
Zn2SnO4 is typically synthesized through solid-state reactions, sol-gel methods, or hydrothermal techniques. The physical properties of
Research into Zn2SnO4 has explored its potential applications in various fields. Its semiconducting properties have led
