Sol-gel synthesis and thermal characterization of SnO2 nanoparticles

Influence of heat treatment on the properties of tin oxide nanoparticles: A potential material for environmental remediation applications

“…Tin (II) chloride dihydrate (SnCl2.2H2O), ammonia hydroxide (NH4OH) and ethanol (C2H5OH) were procured from Sigma Aldrich. In this work sol-gel methodology was adopted to synthesize tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles (Patel et al, 2021). Initially, a sol was prepared by taking 0.3M Stannous chloride dihydrate (SnCl2.2H2O) as a precursor and dissolved completely in ethanol (50ml) subjected to constant stirring.…”

Cu-doped SnO2 nanoparticles: size and antibacterial activity investigations

“…Fig. 7 clearly demonstrates the difference in the prole obtained at t = 0 h and t = 48 h. To model this change, one can use an approach where the color intensity is proportional to the nanoparticle's concentration (4). The second Fick's law, which describes the diffusion over time, can be applied to model the two dimensional nanoparticle's diffusion:…”

Structural and magnetic properties of Fe and Ni co-doped SnO2 nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation method

“…To achieve the desired properties, such as homogeneity, shape, crystallite size, etc, the selection of the synthesis technique is also crucial. Pure and TM-doped SnO 2 nanostructured materials can be prepared using a variety of synthesis techniques, including sol-gel [26], sputtering [27], solvothermal processes [28], hydrothermal methods [29], microwave synthesis [30], co-precipitation [31], flame spray pyrolysis method [32], surfactantmediated methods [33] etc Here, we have selected a chemical co-precipitation procedure because it has many advantages over alternative synthesis methods. Particularly, it is a straightforward, cost-effective, and simple method for manufacturing fine, crystalline, and homogenous magnetic nano particles at comparably lower calcination temperature, yielding higher product yields and greater surface areas.…”
