Abstract:

SnO2 nanoparticles with different percentage of Al (5%, 15%, and25%) were synthesized by sol-gel method. The structure and nature of nanoparticles are determined by of X-ray diffraction analysis. Also, morphology of the samples is evaluated by SEM. Moreover, the optical properties of the samples are investigated with UV-Visible and FT-IR. The XRD patterns are indicated that all samples and incorporation aluminum ions into the SnO2 lattice have tetragonal rutile structure. The crystalline size of nanoparticles is decreased with increasing the Al percentage. The SEM results confirmed that the size of nanoparticles decreases with increasing the Al percentage. Also, FT-IR and UV-Visible results showed that the optical band gap of nanoparticles increases with the increasing the Al percentage. Finally, we have used the EDX analysis to study the chemical composition of the products. Pure tin and oxygen have been observed. The doped samples showed the existence of Al atoms in the samples of the crystal structure of SnO2.

Characterization of Pure and Antimony Doped SnO2 Thin Films Prepared by the Sol-Gel Technique

Pure and antimony doped SnO2 thin films have been prepared by the sol-gel dip coating technique on glass substrate using starting material SnCl2.2H2O as a host and SbCl3 as a dopant. Our experimental results revealed that, the quality of the coated films on the glass depends on process parameters. The effect of annealing temperature, dipping numbe...
