High infrared insulation and high visible light transmittance Sb/Yb co-doped SnO2 film prepared with sol–gel method

Optimizing the photocatalytic performance of SnO2 nanoparticles for methylene blue removal with variation in calcination temperatures

“…At present, it has been observed that SnO2 materials demonstrate an excellent photocatalytic reaction when exposed to UV irradiation [24]. The synthesis process of SnO2 nanomaterials with optimal photocatalytic properties has been carried out using several methods, including templating [33,34], electrospinning [35], electrolysis [36], ultrasonic radiation [37], sol-gel [10,38], hydrothermal [39], and precipitation [40][41][42]. The primary advantages of using precipitation, in comparison to others, are that this method offers (i) a simple procedure, (ii) the use of simple and cost-effective tools, (iii) the utilization of a non-toxic solvent, and (iv) an ecofriendly nature [43,44].…”
