Abstract
Tin oxide (SnO 2) particles incorporated into porous material with different Sn/Si molar ratios were prepared. Talc was mechanically milled and subsequently leached to prepare talc porous material (TPM) which was used as host for incorporating SnO 2 nanoparticles. The SnO 2 incorporated TPM (SnO 2/TPM) samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and N 2 adsorption techniques. The specific surface area and pore volume decrease significantly from 260 m 2/g and 0.51 ml/g for TPM sample to 178 m 2/g and 0.32 ml/g for SnO 2/TPM sample with Sn/Si molar ratio of 0.4, respectively. Both of them can be attributed to the presence of SnO 2 particles within the pores of the SnO 2/TPM samples.
