Gram-scale synthesis of highly crystalline, 0-D and 1-D SnO2 nanostructures through surfactant-free hydrothermal process

SnO2 nanoparticles synthesized with Citrus aurantifolia and their performance in photocatalysis

“…confinement [51]. It should be mentioned that the values obtained are very close to those of bulk SnO 2 (3.6 eV) [52], which suggest that the synthesized materials can be used in photocatalytic applications.…”

Sunlight assisted photodegradation by tin oxide quantum dots

“…The IR band at 1624 cm À 1 also may be due to the bending vibration of H 2 O. The weak IR bands at 1247, 1110, 1042 and 990 cm À 1 are probably due to overtones, combinations bending modes of different types of surface terminated OH on SnO 2 quantum dots [28]. In annealed samples intensity of the FTIR bands at 3380 and 1624 cm À 1 is reduced indicating the decrease in contents of surface adsorbed -OH group in the annealed samples [31].…”

“…The synthesis of SnO 2 nanoparticles of average particle size 3.5 nm also reported which is by a non-aqueous benzyl alcohol route [27]. A surfactant free hydrothermal method is also exploited for the synthesis of SnO 2 nanoparticles at a temperature of 225°C which gives particles of average size 5.8 nm [28]. In this regard, quantum dots which may exhibit quantum confinement effect are very important and a simple route of synthesis is necessary for its bulk production.…”

Gamma ray induced thermoluminescence properties of Eu3+ doped SnO2 phosphor

“…Nanostructured SnO 2 particles have been prepared by using different methods such as sol-gel, precipitation and hydrothermal etc. [7][8][9]. Among various methods, combustion synthesis is an effective approach for the production of Eu 3+ doped SnO 2 phosphors owing to its low cost, energy saving and environmental protection [10].…”
