Study Results from Shivaji University Update Understanding of Sustainability Research (Environmentally Sustainable Synthesis of Sno2 Nanostructures for Efficient Photodegradation of Industrial Dyes)

Article Description

We report herein additive-free, environmentally sustainable, rapid, and phytosynthetic route for spherical-shaped SnO nanostructures (NSs) employing Syzygium cumini (SC) leaf extract. To get insights into structural, optical, morphological, elemental, and surface properties of obtained NSs, in-depth spectroscopic, microscopic, and BET analyses were employed. The tetragonal structure with 3.26 nm size was confirmed by XRD patterns, however, the Sn–O–Sn bond observed at 560–645 cm in FT-IR suggests the formation of SnO. The surface area obtained for SnO NSs is 58.43 m/g. The SnO NSs showed excellent dye removal efficiency for methyl orange (MO) (88%) and methylene blue (MB) (96%) within 180 and 120 min, respectively. The relevance of point of zero charge (pH) for the degradation of dyes is also discussed. Here, the novel green mediator for the synthesis of SnO is reported and efficiently it explored in photocatalysis applications.
