Synthesis and Characterization of Pure Tin Oxide and Magnesium Doped Tin Oxide Nanoparticles by Chemical Precipitation Method

Magnesium doped tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. This comes under bottom up approach. The obtained results of metal oxide nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FTIR,SEM, EDAX, UV and PL respectively. The average grain size is calculated from XRD spectrum which confirms the crystalline nature. Then the presence of functional groups was determined form Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and surface morphology and particle size are carried out by scanning electron microscope (SEM).In that view the purity and elemental composition of the sample was identified from EDAX. Finally theoptical properties and bandgap energy can be analyzed by using UV-visible spectroscopyand PL. This suggests that the samples synthesized are suitable for application of dye degradation.
