Photocatalytic Performance of SnO2 Prepared by Different Precipitants

Article Preview

Abstract:

Parallel flow precipitation has been employed to prepare nanostructured SnO2. It is found that the specific surface areas and photocatalytic performance of SnO2 has a strong dependence on the kind of precipitant. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and SEM. The results show that SnO2 prepared by NH3·H2O + (NH4)2CO3 has the highest BET surface area and the smallest crystal average size. SnO2 prepared by NH3·H2O + (NH4)2CO3 exhibits the best photocatalytic activity. The results of further experiments show that the specific surface area plays an important role in promotion of photocatalytic activity of SnO2 prepared by NH3·H2O + (NH4)2CO3.
