Application

Tin has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of nano-tin oxide which can be deposited on aluminum substrate to be used as an urea sensor. It is generally used for the synthesis of Li/Sn alloys and tin-oxide based electrodes for lithium-ion secondary batteries.

The kesterite-structured semiconductors Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 are drawing considerable attention recently as the active layers in earth-abundant low-cost thin-film solar cells. The additional number of elements in these quaternary compounds, relative to binary and ternary semiconductors, results in increased flexibility
