Microwave-assisted green synthesis of SnO₂ nanoparticles and their optical and photocatalytic properties

Enhanced Corrosion Protection of Epoxy/ZnO-NiO Nanocomposite Coatings on Steel

“…The EDAX spectrum of the ZnO-NiO nanocomposite (Figure 2c) confirms that the chemical composition of the samples consists of Zn (8.96 ± 0.11 wt.%), Ni (10.53 ± 0.19 wt.%) and O (80.51 ± 3.12 wt.%). It was found that the chemical composition corresponded to the requirement and EDAX validates the effective incorporation of Ni into the ZnO nanoparticles [23]. No contamination peaks were present in the spectra representing the chemical purity of the sample.…”

“…The composite with Ni was not demonstrated to have a remarkable outcome on the particle size of ZnO. Since Ni ions were isolated onto the surface of ZnO, they might have control over the growth to minute grains [23]. As seen in Figure 2a The SEM micrographs of the ZnO-NiO nanocomposite with different magnifications are shown in Figure 2a,b.…”

Facile synthesis of SnO2shell followed by microwave treatment for high environmental stability of Ag nanoparticles

“…It was previously found that a high temperature of about 250 C and even a low temperature of about 100 C applied in a hydrothermal method can recrystallize SnO 2 and cause the formation of highly ordered crystals characterized by a higher diameter. 34,35 Microwave irradiation is used to obtain or improve the crystal structure of different ceramic nanomaterials, such as changing amorphous TiO 2 to anatase at only 180 C. 36 The microwave treatment signicantly inuences the SnO 2 structure and has also been recently used as a method for the synthesis of different nanostructures such as dots, 37 nanoparticles, 38 wires, 39 or lms. 40 SnO 2 nanoparticles synthesized by the precipitation or combustion method indicate that the crystallite size increased with increasing annealing temperature.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Al doped SnO2 Nanocrystalline Thin Films by Spray Pyrolysis Technique

“…Aluminium is one of the acceptor impurity which acts as a lower valence cation in SnO 2 and can cause the p -type conductivity. Al doped tin oxide (ATO) nanocrystalline thin films can be prepared by a number of method such as spray pyrolysis [5], sputtering [6], CVD [7], Plasma and sol-gel methods [8][9][10][11].Spray Pyrolysis is suitable for a variety of oxide materials and relatively inexpensive. ATO thin films have been prepared using a spray pyrolysis technique and different amount of Al doped SnO 2 thin films were prepared at T s =400°C and annealed at 500°C, 600°C.…”
