Impact of Sn ions on structural and electrical description of TiO₂ nanoparticles

Abstract

In this paper, Sn-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with varying concentrations were manufactured through a simple procedure. The fabricated TiO2 and Sn loaded on TiO2 nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-rays, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and resistance analyses. The benefits of dielectric constant and ac conductivity rise at high Sn loaded concentration on TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced electrical conductivity is seen for STO3 (3.5% Sn doped TiO2) and STO4 (5% Sn doped TiO2) specimens are apparently associated with the introduced high defect TiO2 lattice. Furthermore, the fabricated specimens’ obtained findings may be applied as possible candidates for high-energy storage devices. Moreover, proper for the manufacture of materials working at a higher frequency.
