Abstract

SnO₂ nanoparticles have been synthesized using precipitation method and heat treatment. Firstly, SnCl₄.5H₂O was reacted with NaOH solution, and than the precipitate heat treated at 350 ^oC, 450 ^oC and 550 ^oC. The obtained materials were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) infrared spectra (IR) energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) using SnO₂ nanoparticles was investigated. The results show that the SnO₂ nanoparticles exhibited a significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity. The photoactivity of SnO₂ nanoparticles photocatalysts can be ascribed to the enhanced electron-hole separation.
