Surface chemistry of surfactant AOT-stabilized SnO2 nanoparticles and effect of temperature

Luminescence and photocatalytic studies of Sm3+ion doped SnO2nanoparticles

“…7,11 There are various synthetic methods for lanthanide doped and undoped SnO 2 nanoparticles such as hydrothermal, 12 precipitation, 13 sol-gel, 14 vapour transport method, 15 microwave method 16 and microemulsion. 17 Nowadays, the textile industry of dyes and pigments is expanding worldwide, mainly in developing countries. Dyes and pigments are used in industry for coloring of cloth, cotton, paper, leather, wool, silk and nylon.…”

Terbium doped SnO2 nanoparticles as white emitters and SnO2:5Tb/Fe3O4 magnetic luminescent nanohybrids for hyperthermia application and biocompatibility with HeLa cancer cells

“…† The peaks for Tb are observed at about 1.5, 6.3 and 7.1 keV. 17,26 The peak becomes sharper with an increase in the annealing temperature and this is related to the improved crystallinity upon annealing. These peak positions match with other reported values.…”

“…7 Rare-earth (RE) ions having emission in the primary colour (red, blue and green) range can be combined together to obtain white emission. 13 There are many different synthesis methods available in the literature such as discharge, laser ablation, solution, vaporliquid-solid (VLS), hydrothermal reaction, and microemulsion [14][15][16][17] to prepare low-dimensional nanostructure SnO 2 such as nanoparticles (NPs), nanorods, nanodiscs, nanosheets, nanobelts, nanowires, [18][19][20][21] etc. [8][9][10][11][12] But an appropriate ratio of yellow to blue Dy 3+ ions shows white emission.…”

Hydrogen sensors based on electrophoretically deposited Pd nanoparticles onto InP

“…Luwang et al investigated thermal properties of SnO 2 /AOT NPs in argon and air. They assigned exotermic peaks at 340°C to the decomposition of AOT [20]. Park et al studied CdS/AOT and CdS/ZnS/AOT NPs in nitrogen and air and observed weight reduction due to the AOT removal from 220 to 380°C.…”
