Synthesis, photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties of SnO2, SnS2 and SnO2/SnS2 nanostructure

Facile synthesis of SnO2shell followed by microwave treatment for high environmental stability of Ag nanoparticles

“…46,47 SnO 2 has also been applied recently in biological studies due to its high biocompatibility, low toxicity, and antifungal and antibacterial activities. 47,48 Many studies have showed that tin oxide is a suitable antibacterial agent for inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. [49][50][51] The core@shell Ag@SnO 2 arrangement proposed in this paper can create a promising future antimicrobial system, which combines the antimicrobial properties of Ag and SnO 2 .…”

SEM Study of the Photocatalytic Activity of SnO2 Films Exposed to UV Radiation Against the Human Pathogen C. albicans

“…In an effort to help solving this situation is necessary to approach it using different strategies, including the prevention or minimization of disease contagion. Physical methods of sterilization should be taken in consideration since they are quick and cheap methods [3]. Additionally, living organisms have no meanings of developing resistance mechanisms against them in the short term it is likely that techniques based on physical methods will still be useful for a long period of time.…”

Construction of SnS2–SnO2 heterojunctions decorated on graphene nanosheets with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance

“…Therefore, the SnS 2 -SnO 2 /RGO photocatalysts (SnS 2 -SnO 2 -3/RGO, SnS 2 -SnO 2 -6/RGO and SnS 2 -SnO 2 -9/RGO) show a much greater photocatalytic activity for RhB than pure SnO 2 and SnS 2 -SnO 2 -6. It is also much greater than the results reported in the literature (Zhang et al, 2011a,b;Fakhri et al, 2015). We further investigated the recyclability of the SnS 2 -SnO 2 -6/RGO sample, as shown in Fig.…”
