Abstract
Abstract Green synthesis of tin dioxide nanoparticles were developed by microwave heating method using 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 volumetric ratio of water and glycerol, wherein glycerol acts as a good complexing as well as capping agent. This method resulted in the formation of spherical SnO 2 nanoparticles with an average diameter ∼8–30 nm. The synthesized SnO 2 NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The optical properties were investigated using UV–vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized SnO 2 NPs was evaluated for the degradation of two different toxic dyes namely, Methyl Violet 6B and Methylene blue dye under direct sunlight.
