We report a simple glucose-mediated hydrothermal method for gram-scale synthesis of nearly monodisperse hybrid SnO2 nanoparticles. Glucose is found to play the dual role of facilitating rapid precipitation of polycrystalline SnO2 nanocolloids and in creating a uniform, glucose-derived, carbon-rich p...
