The influence of grinding conditions on the mechanochemical synthesis of zinc stannate

Far infrared reflection spectroscopy of Zn2SnO4 ceramics obtained by sintering mechanically activated ZnO–SnO2 powder mixtures

“…9 Agglomeration and a high porosity were present in all mechanically activated powders that increased with longer times of mechanical activation and remained after sintering. 10 An analysis of the density of the mechanically activated samples after sintering showed that the sample activated for 10 min had a slightly higher density (activation times: 10-75.9, 40-75.7, 80-75.5 and 160-75.3% of the theoretical density).…”

“…5,6 Mechanical activation by grinding is widely used in powder processing. 7 Synthesis of polycrystalline zinc-stannate by a solid-state reaction and the influence of mechanical activation on its formation were studied in detail by Nikolic et al 8,9 In this work we have studied optical properties of Zn 2 SnO 4 ceramics obtained by sintering ZnO-SnO 2 powder mixtures that were mechanically activated for different activation times.…”

Electrochemical Generation of Cubic Shaped Nano Zn2SnO4 Photocatalysts

“…Large number of methods have been developed for the preparation of ZTO, such as thermal evaporation [23,24], high temperature calcination [12,25], solgel synthesis [26,27], mechanical grinding [28] and hydrothermal reaction [6,10,11,18,[29][30][31]. Among these methods, the electrochemical method has aroused a considerable interest in the synthesis of nanosized metal metal-oxide powder and films because of its simplicity, low temperature operation process and viability of commercial production.…”

Structural, compositional and electrical properties of co-precipitated zinc stannate

“…It could be caused by the easy evaporation of partial ZnO [12]. Several processing routes such as solid state calcinations [13], spray pyrolysis [12], hydrothermal method [14] and a mechano-chemical grinding method [15] have been employed to synthesize zinc stannate particles. Cun et al [16] reported the synthesis of nano-sized Zn 2 SnO 4 material using the coprecipitation method with SnCl 4 and ZnSO 4 in 1:2 molar proportion.…”
