“…Non-stoichiometric and doped films of oxides of cadmium, tin, zinc, indium, and their various alloys, which are deposited by various techniques, show high transmittance in the visible optical range, high reflectance in the IR region, and very high conductivity. Based on these fantastic properties, some of the TCOs applications include transparent electrodes in solar cells [6], light emitting diodes [7], liquid crystal displays [8], heat mirrors [9], dye-synthesized solar cells [10], wave guide electron devices [11], thick-film sensors [12], organic light emitting diodes [13], flat panel displays [14] and so on. TCOs are generally manufactured as undoped and doped form of indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ), tin oxide (SnO 2 ), zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium oxide (CdO) which show high visible transmittance, high electrical conductivity, and high near IR reflectivity which is applicable in energy conserving [15].…”

Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films were deposited onto glass substrate at different substrate temperatures by a simple and inexpensive method of air pressure chemical vapor deposition. The substrate temperature was kept constant at about 500• C as the optimum temperature, and air was used as both a carrier gas and the oxidizing agent. A very simple method of characterization were carried on to investigate the electrical and structural properties of the prepared thin films. The electrical parameters variations showed that these parameters vary with substrate temperature ranging from an insulator thin film to a highly conductive layer. X-ray diffraction also revealed the structure to be polycrystalline at higher temperatures compared to amorphous structure for lower temperatures.

“…It is particularly interesting because of its unique optical, electrical, and catalytic properties and has a wide range of applications mainly gas sensors, optoelectronic devices, lithium-ion batteries, photocatalysis, and dye-sensitized solar cells [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Recently, SnO 2 has become of much interest in the area of photocatalysis due to its high photochemical stability, strong oxidizing power, low-cost, and non-toxic nature.…”

In this study, pure and Co-doped tin oxide (SnO 2 ) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method, and the effect of Co-doping on the structural, optical, photocatalytic, and antimicrobial activities was studied. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), highresolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and N 2 adsorption/desorption analysis. The XRD patterns of all the samples are identified as tetragonal rutile-type SnO 2 phase which is further confirmed by TEM analysis. The optical spectra showed redshift in the absorption edge of doped samples, which enhances their absorption toward the visible light region. The photocatalytic activity of all the samples was assessed by monitoring the degradation of methylene blue solution under daylight illumination, and it was found that the photocatalytic activity significantly increases with the increase in dopant concentration, which is due to the effective charge separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The antimicrobial studies investigated against standard bacterial and fungal strains showed enhanced antimicrobial activity in doped samples, which can be attributed to the production of reactive oxygen species and large surface area of the nanoparticles.

“…The films were deposited on copper substrate by one step electro deposition without the pre treatment of electrolytes. An effect of deposition potential on the morphological properties was investigated using scanning electron microscopy [24][25][26] Pulsed laser deposition method as reported by Dolbec and Phillips et al [27][28]. The alumina and quartz substrates are use to synthesis SnO 2 with using of pure polycrystalline SnO 2 phase, SnO 2 films with a thickness between1000-2000 Å were successfully deposited on glass substrate.…”

This review focuses on Tin oxide has been extensively investigated different synthesized method, Tin oxide nano materials with different morphologies and spatial assemblies have been fabricated in the last few years in order to improve their performances. This review describes the recent developments of different synthesized method for potential applications. Tin oxide is a candidate for applications requiring high electrical conductivity and optical transparency, such as a gas sensor material, oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor, photo anode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), due to their higher optical transparency and wider electron mobility to compare other metal oxide semiconductors (MOS), the chemical and physical structures of tin oxide to make suitable material for these applications.
