Investigation of Structural and Optical Properties of SnO2 Nano-rod by Sol-gel technique
Keywords:
Sol-gel, SnO2, Nano-rod, OpticalAbstract
In this paper, SnO2 nano-rod synthesized by a simple Sol-gel technique. The structural and optical properties were studied by using XRD, SEM, TEM and UV–vis techniques. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD), shows the samples have a tetragonal rutile structure. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) shows the average particle size is of ~ 7.9 nm. The obtained materials are promissing to be useful in various photocatalytic and opto-electronics applications.
