Abstract: Zinc stannate nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and zinc oxide nanorods were used as starting materials. Formation of multicomponent oxides was studied by using the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that tin ions are gradually embedded in the crystal lattice of zinc oxide nanorods and replaced zinc ions during hydrothermal synthesis with the formation of zinc stannate nanostructures. The study of the synthesis time effect on the surface chemical composition of the prepared samples has shown formation of zinc stannate after 1 hour, that is confirmed by changes in the binding energies of zinc and oxygen. With a longer synthesis, zinc stannate nanostructures collapsed, thus zinc and tin oxides are practically not observed on the sample surface.

Keywords: zinc stannate, nanostructures, hydrothermal synthesis, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
