“…Although there has been considerable success in the synthesis of SnO 2 nanomaterials of various morphologies [17][18][19][20], it is still a major challenge to prepare SnO 2 nanocrystals (NCs) with dimensions of less than 10 nm in different discrete sizes and relatively high BET surface area which is essential features for higher photocatalytic activity [21,22]. Furthermore, to date, many SnO 2 -based coupled semiconductor composite photocatalysts, such as SnO 2 -TiO 2 [23][24][25][26], SnO 2 -ZnO [27][28][29][30][31] or SnO 2 -CuO [32] have been extensively studied for their high photocatalytic activities.…”

In the present study, tin oxide (SnO 2 ) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using tin tetrachloride (SnCl 4 ) as precursor and ammonia solution as precipitating agent followed by calcination at 400 ºC for 2 h. As-prepared SnO 2 particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The powder XRD results revealed that the SnO 2 nanoparticles had a typical tetragonal rutile (cassiterite) structure and the average crystallite size calculated by using the Debye -Scherrer equation was found to be approximately 5.1 nm. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared photocatalysts was investigated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye. The effect of pH, catalyst loading and initial dye concentration on photocatalytic degradation was investigated. Results showed that the SnO 2 nanoparticles represented excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB under UV light with 200 min of irradiation time. The results also showed that the pH of solution had a direct influence on the photocatalysis process and basic pH was favorable for the degradation of MB. The effect of pH on photocatalytic activity was explained with the help of zero point charge (pH pzc ). Furthermore, the photocatalysts could be easily recycled without significant change in the catalytic activity.

“…[39]. Formation of an increasing number of oxygen states with both [O 2 ] and temperature features a kinetics limitation, which is related to a limited surface for formation of oxygen adsorbates (saturation effect), and electronic repulsion effects (interaction between conduction electrons and negative oxygen species), and a thermodynamic limitation related to both the destabilization of oxygen adsorbates with increasing temperature (which is evidenced by the reduction of effective coverage with temperature), and an increase in oxygen vacancies at high temperature [12,[57][58][59][60][61].…”

Abstract: CuWO 4 thin-films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition onto an insulating substrate. The temperature dependence of the electronic conductivity of CuWO 4 thin-films was determined over the 100 °C -500 °C temperature range in a synthetic air atmosphere. Additionally, variations of conductivity at 300°C and 500°C have been measured for oxygen partial pressures (0.1 atm < p(O 2 ) < 0.9 atm) in nitrogen. The apparent activation energy ∆E a for the electrical conduction has been estimated. The study of the temperature effect on the electron transport properties of CuWO 4 thin-films reveals the operation of two temperature-dependent oxygen states. The effect of varying oxygen concentration on the electronic properties is discussed in detail. The electrochemical nature of the operating oxygen states for the 100°C -500 °C temperature range is deduced using a physicochemical model that relates electronic conductivity with oxygen partial pressure and temperature.
