Herein, we firstly highlight a facile method to prepare three-dimensional porous networks of ultra-long SnO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes through the single capillary electrospinning technique. Compared with the traditional SnO<sub>2</sub> nanofibers, the as-obtained three-dimensional porous networks show enhancement of photocurrent and photocatalytic activity, which could be ascribed to its improved light-harvesting efficiency and high separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Besides, the synthesis route delivered three-dimensional sheets on the basis of interwoven nanofibrous networks, which can be readily recycled for the desirable circular application of a potent photocatalyst system.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Nano-Micro Letters}, author={Zhang, Peng and Wang, Lijie and Zhang, Xi and Hu, Junhua and Shao, Guosheng}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={86-95} }
