    SSCI-VIDE+ECI2D+GBEInternational audienceThree-dimensional crystalline tin dioxide (SnO2) nanostructures have been synthesized herein using a cost-efficient hydrothermal method.Synthesis parameters have been optimized in order to obtain desiredmorphologies (spherical nanoparticles (NPs) or elongated prismaticnanorods (NRs)). Materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction,electron microscopy techniques, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetrictechniques to determine the growing mechanism of the nanoparticles.Prismatic SnO2 nanorods were found to present arrangement of flower-likeensembles. The SnO2 final morphology (NPs or NRs) slightly influencesband gap values and photo emission wavelengths. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved
