Crystallinity and microstructure of several parts of Au-decorated SnO2 nanostructures. (a) XRD spectrum of Au-SnO2 mixture; (b,c) HRTEM images acquired at the interface between a Au particle (dark region) and a SnO2 nanowire (white region); (d) interplanar spacing showing the reduction of SnO2 to Sn on the surface of SnO2 nanowire; (e) interplanar spacing of SnO2-based layers formed on the Au particle surface; (f) interplanar spacing confirming the reduction of SnO2 to Sn, measured on the other surface of the SnO2 nanowire; (g) interplanar spacing confirming the reduction of SnO2 to Sn, measured inside the SnO2 nanowire.
