Synthesis of SnS2/SnO2 Nanocomposite for Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Reduction of Aqueous Cr(VI)

Article Preview

Abstract:

SnS2/SnO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple in situ hydrothermal oxidation route, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum. The as-synthesized SnS2/SnO2 nanocomposite displayed much superior photocatalytic activity to SnS2 and SnO2 nanoparticles in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation.
