Investigation of Photocatalytic Properties of Microwave Hydrothermal Synthesized ZnO, SnO2 and ZnO/SnO2 Nanocomposites
Abstract: The coupled ZnO-SnO2 photocatalyst system is one of the coupled semiconductor systems which is extensively employed in photocatalytic applications. ZnO, SnO2 and ZnO/SnO2 composite nanoparticles with three different molar ratios were successfully synthesized via a simple, low cost microwave assisted method using zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) and stannous chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) as precursors. The ZnO/SnO2 nanoparticles exhibited higher photocatalytic activities compared to pure ZnO, SnO2 nanoparticles and appreciable highest photocatalytic activity, and …

Synthesis and characterization of mixed SnO2-ZnO Nano composites material to study the kinetics of catalytic reduction of Aromatic Nitro compounds
Abstract: A straightforward and cost-effective method was employed to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures supported on tin oxide (SnO₂) for catalytic applications. This hybrid nanocomposite, formed by integrating ZnO with SnO₂, exhibited impressive catalytic activity in the reduction of various nitro compounds. The synergistic interaction between ZnO and SnO₂ significantly enhanced the surface area and active sites of the catalyst, thereby improving its overall efficiency. The resulting SnO₂-ZnO nanocomposite not only …
