Synthesis of Zn₂SnO₄ nanoparticles used for photocatalytic purposes

A highly active Z-scheme SnS/Zn2SnO4 photocatalyst fabricated for methylene blue degradation

“…2e), and the d (0.34 nm) stripes match the (120) crystal planes of SnS, indicating the successful fabrication of SnS/Zn 2 SnO 4 heterojunction. 40,41 Notably, due to the weak crystallinity of SnS, some amorphous SnS marked with red circles can be seen. In addition, the lattice of SnS/Zn 2 SnO 4 appears fuzzy and curved seen in the red dashed rings in Fig.…”

Improving the morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties of octahedral Zn2SnO4 using Garcinia mangostana fruit peel extract

“…The band gap values of both samples were lower compared to the fundamental band gap of bulk Zn 2 SnO 4 (3.60-3.70 eV). However, the resulted band gap of both samples ranged between several previous results, termed 3.2-3.9 [9,33,34]. Furthermore, the heat treatment applied tend to narrow the band gap to 3.25 due to the formation and incorporation of excess Zn in Zn 2 SnO 4 matrix [35].…”

Ficus Carica Mediated Synthesis of Simulated Solar Light Driven Nano-sized Zinc Stannate Photocatalyst for the Degradation of Methylene Blue

“…Various biological, chemical, and physical techniques are used for the elimination of unwanted hazardous compounds from contaminated water comprising membrane separation, advanced oxidation, coagulation and adsorption, precipitation, reverse osmosis, and membrane processes [7]. The methods reported to eliminate the dyes from aqueous solution were of physical and chemical nature but these methods are highly expensive and less efficient for the dye degradation.…”
