Synthesis and characterization of SnO2 thin films prepared by dip-coating method

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

“…Before the microwave irradiation core level, the Sn 3d spectrum reveals the presence of SnO 2 and the value of binding energy for the Sn 3d 5/2 peak maximum is slightly shied to 488.5 eV due to surface charging. 28 As a control sample for SnO 2 coating formation on the AgNPs, the synthesis was performed in pure water without the nanoparticles. As a result of adding sodium stannate to boiling water ($100 C), SnO 2 particles were formed.…”

The effect of precursor concentration and post-deposition annealing on the optical and micro-structural properties of SILAR deposited SnO2 films

“…Tin oxide (SnO 2 ) is one of such earth abundant and nontoxic IV-VI material known for its transparency in visible region and a wide bandgap (3.5 to 4.0 eV) [1]. Due to its high absorption co-efficient in UV region and n-type conductivity, SnO 2 has many potential applications such as gas sensors [2], window layers in solar cells, photodetectors [3][4][5] etc The SnO 2 nano materials including thin films have been prepared by several physical and chemical routes such as chemical bath deposition [6], dip coating [7], sol-gel [8], thermal evaporation [9], Spray pyrolysis [10] pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [11], SILAR [12][13][14] etc Among these techniques, SILAR has proved to be a simple and cost-effective route for the synthesis of good quality SnO 2 films as it does not require complex setups and vacuum environment [15]. Several efforts have been made in the past to synthesize SnO 2 using SILAR and other techniques.…”

Synthesis and characterization of SnO2 thin layer with a doping aluminum is deposited on quartz substrates

“…Nano technology is one of them realized in the form of a thin layer or thin film. A thin layer is made of organic materials, inorganic, metal, or metal-organic mixture of very thin (scale of nanometers to millimeters) and can have the properties of conductors, semiconductors, superconductors, and insulators [1][2][3]. This thin layer technology already undergone many developments, both in terms of the materials used, method of manufacture, and its application in people's lives since it was introduced by M Faraday, W. Grove, T.A.Edison in 1850 [4,5].…”
