adds Professor Lorenz Kienle, Chairperson of the Synthesis and Real Structure group. The structural design of the tin oxide 3d network, meaning the grown-together noodles, was investigated in detail using transmission electron microscopy.

This work has been performed in co-operation with Professor Ion Tiginyanu and his team members from the Technical University of Moldova

Development of such 3d network materials from tin oxide, with geometry determining defects made by flame transport synthesis at Kiel University is a very interesting step forward into the future of nanostructure growth and applications."#
