Abstract:

Metal stannate nanostructures have emerged as an important class of multifunctional nanomaterials because of their remarkable optical, electrical, catalytic, and electrochemical properties. These materials, including Zinc Stannate, Barium Stannate, and Calcium Stannate, possess excellent thermal stability, high surface area, tunable band gaps, and enhanced charge transport characteristics. Due to these features, metal stannates are widely investigated for applications in photocatalysis, gas sensing, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, and environmental remediation. This paper reviews the synthesis methods, structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, and multifunctional applications of metal stannate nanostructures. Current challenges and future prospects in the development of advanced stannate-based nanomaterials are also discussed.
