Zn2SnO4 decorated SnS2 flower-like ball for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline under visible irradiation: The role of Zn2SnO4 in photoinduced electrons transfer

Phytochemical preparation of Zinc Stannate nanoparticles by using lemon and grapefruit peels for removal of cadmium ions

“…There was a UV region peak, which showed that Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles were being formed. It was found by Ping Huang et al [35] that Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles exhibited absorption humps that were comparable to one another. The phenomena of optical absorption is shown by equation (5), which represents the connection between the absorption coefficient and the photon energy (E = hv) for direct band gap material as the previous studies [36]:…”

“…For instance, Amani-Ghadim et al revealed that pure Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles that had been doped with Nd were effective in detecting heavy metal ions [19]. Detection of tetracycline was successfully accomplished by Huang et al by the production of SnS 2 -adorned Zn 2 SnO 4 [20]. SnO 2 /Zn 2 SnO 4 nanocomposites were reported to be efficient in detecting n-butylamine in water-based medium, according to the findings of Li et al [21].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic performance of SnS2 under visible light irradiation: strategies and future perspectives

“…Various reports have shown that SnS 2 can be utilized in numerous photocatalytic applications, such as hydrogen production, 31–34 wastewater treatment, 35–39 antibacterial and antifungal activity, 40–43 and air purification. 44 For example, Yu et al 45 first reported the photocatalytic hydrogen production of SnS 2 nanosheets under solar light simulation with H 2 evolution activity of 1.06 mmol h −1 g −1 .…”
