Enhanced photocatalytic activity of $$\hbox {SnO}2$$ NPs by chromium (Cr) concentration
Source abstract
Abstract
This study reports the synthesis of un- and chromium (Cr)-doped tin dioxide ((hbox {SnO}2)) nanoparticles (NPs) through chemical precipitation and their application for photodegradation of methylene blue dye. The obtained NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, elemental mapping and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. The TEM and XRD results demonstrated that the (hbox {SnO}2) NPs are spherical and contain polycrystalline tetragonal crystals. UV–Vis spectra showed that increasing the concentration of the Cr dopant enhances the light absorption potential of the ( hbox {SnO}2 ) NPs. Finally, the findings of the photocatalytic experiments performed for 120 min in ultraviolet irradiation under ambient conditions revealed an improvement in the degradation efficiency of the ( hbox {SnO}2 ) NPs by Cr doping.
