Nanoparticles are widely used in different applications such as cancer cell treatment and antibacterial agents. SnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination using Tin (II) chloride- dihydrate, Sodium hydroxide, in presence of Hexadecyltrimethylammoniumn bromide (CTAB) as Surfactant. These nanoparticles were characterized by using Fourier tra...

Water treatment is a major process of realizing Eco Airport in airport development that does not cause environmental damage, protects the environment, and seeks to minimize impact pollution due operations. The growth global economy make significant contribution resulting increasingly uncontrolled disposal wastewater, series problems related provision clean water at airports. This study discusse...

We report the fabrication and testing of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) based on tin oxide (SnO2) particles of average size ~20 nm. Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting glass substrates were treated with TiOx or TiCl4 precursor solutions to create a blocking layer before tape casting the SnO2 mesoporous anode. In addition, SnO2 photoelectrodes were treated with the same precursor soluti...

We have investigated the effect of deposition conditions of SnO2 films, deposited by chemical vapor deposition using tin tetrachloride and tetramethyltin precursors, on the film properties. The type of precursor and the deposition temperature affect the morphology of the films. The structure of the films is determined by the deposition temperature: films deposited at low temperatures show a mix...

A facile method to prepare SnO2 hollow microspheres has been developed by using SiO2 microspheres as template and Na2SnO3 as tin resource. The obtained SnO2 hollow microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution and transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller analysis, and their sensing performance was also investigated. It wa...

Electrooxidation of methanol, ethanol, and formic acid was studied on three platinum-containing electrocatalysts: PtCu/C, Pt/(SnO2/C), Pt/C, Pt content being about 20 wt%. In all reactions, the integral specific activity catalysts, estimated from results cyclic voltammetry, grows in Pt/C < Pt/(SnO2/C) PtCu/C row. The influence reagent nature subjected to electrooxidation is manifested both d...

SnO2 nanowires were prepared on bare oxidized silicon, Au and SnO2 coated substrates by thermal evaporation of tin grains in argon atmosphere at 900°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the SnO2 nanowires. FE-SEM images indicated that the size of SnO2 nanowires depend on the type of substrate. Gas sensor was fabricated by ...

The high cost of Pt-based electrode materials limits the commercialization fuel cells and their subsequent application in renewable energy production. It is thus necessary to develop economical, high-performance electrodes alongside biofuels reduce pollution associated with production energy. Tin dioxide–copper foil (SnO2–Cu) are herein developed using an electrodeposition process. Cyclic volta...

A SnO2 nanocrystallite-based photoanode was prepared using tin (iv) chloride and fructose via a one-pot hydrothermal method, and its structural and morphological properties were studied. Structural observations revealed tetragonal crystals of SnO2, and morphological studies confirmed the presence of spherical nanoparticulates. Furthermore, encapsulating the surface of the SnO2 photoanode (+N719...

Olive-shaped SnO2 nanocrystals were synthesized successfully via a facile hydrothermal route, using tin dichloride hydrate, oxalic acid dihydrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone as reaction precursors, and showed great potential in the large-scale preparation of SnO2 nanocrystals. The prepared SnO2 nanocrystals were characterized using XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and HRTEM, and showed well-defined olive-shaped...
