Abstract

Strontium Tin phosphate SrSn(PO4)2 nanopowder was prepared by simple Solid State Reaction method (SSR). Structural and morphological investigations of the synthesized nanopowder were characterized by Powdered X-ray diffraction study (P-XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy Analysis (EDS). The average crystallite size estimated from P-XRD study was around 17 nm. W-H plot method was also agreed the size of the crystallite of the prepared sample in nanoscale. FE-SEM images show agglomerates of non-uniform biscuit like nano flakes structure. Various functional groups of prepared sample exhibited phosphate related bands are confirmed by FT-IR study.
