Fe(III) Induced Behavior of Hydrothermally Synthesized Tin Dioxide Nanoparticles

Abstract:

We report structural, optical and magnetic behavior of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) capped iron containing tin dioxide (SnO₂) nanoparticles synthesized via facile cost effective, environmentally benign, low temperature hydrothermal process. X-ray diffraction pattern of pristine SnO₂ revealed the formation of tetragonal rutile phase with lattice parameter, a = 0.479 nm, c = 0.323 nm; crystallite size being about 3 nm. The incorporation of iron resulted in progressive increase of unit cell parameters and average crystallite size, despite the fact that Fe³⁺ ion has lower ionic radius than Sn⁴⁺. The high resolution electron micrographs revealed the [110] preferred crystal orientation.
