ABSTRACT:
Nanostructures and methods of fabrication thereof are disclosed. One representative nanostructure includes a silicon dioxide (SiO2)/tin oxide (SnOx) nanostructure, where x is between about 1 to about 2. The SiO2/SnOxnanostructure includes a SiO2nanostructure having SnOxnanoclusters dispersed over a portion of the surface of the SiO2nanostructure.
