Application History of Tin Metal

China is one of the earliest ancient civilizations to produce and use tin, and tin metal, like the "evergreen tree", is enduring and plays different important roles in different periods. Tin has rich chemical and physical properties, and has been widely used in solder, tinplate, chemical, alloy and coating, crafts and other fields, the future will have more tin as catalysis, sensing, photoelectric, energy storage materials widely used in modern society. At present, many research institutions around the world (especially in China) also focus on the application of tin solar film, nano tin oxide lithium ion battery, tin based catalytic materials and other fields.


Tin will be Widely Used in the Solar Industry in the Future

Tin is leading the race for the next generation of solar cell materials. Today's solar cells use expensive and rare elements such as gallium. And more "resource-rich" materials are being considered. Zinc yellow tin, which contains 30% tin, was the first material to pass the 10% performance barrier in an IBM research lab. Solar cell technology, also known as photovoltaic cells, is advancing rapidly and is considered a priority area for new energy technologies. Traditional polycrystalline/monocrystalline silicon materials will be gradually replaced by photovoltaic material thin films, and this new technology is expected to dominate the solar cell market in the next few years

Applications of Tin Telluride in Thermoelectric Conversion Materials

Tin works wonders when combined with other elements and heated. New materials are being developed that convert heat into electricity. Other tin - containing materials may be magnetic and movable. The technology collects waste heat for recycling (e.g., car exhaust). One such material, a new alloy based on nickel, cobalt, manganese and tin, has magnetic properties that vary with temperature and can be either non-magnetic or highly magnetic. Another promising tin-based material in the field is dopant tin telluride - which, if the thermoelectric effect is strong enough, could be used for power generation, refrigeration and photonic sensing devices.
