Abstract |
Nanostructured Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest owing to their applications in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs), as an anode material of lithium-ion batteries, as photocatalytic materials and as a gas sensor. Ternary oxide Zn2SnO4 nanoparticle was successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal technique using NaOH as the mineralizer at 200°C for the reaction time of 24 h. Synthesized sample was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, HRSEM and UV-visible spectroscopy measurements. The product phase and high crystallinity were confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Optical absorption study revealed the band gap energy to be lesser than that of the bulk Zn2SnO4. |
