Abstract
The synergistic influence of SnFe2O4on ZnSnO3 with different weight ratios has been synthesized by hydrothermal and solvothermal techniques. The composition, structure, morphology, optical, luminescence, and magnetic properties have been studied in this work. The XPS results signal a strong fundamental interaction among ZnSnO3 and SnFe2O4, as evidenced bythe relocation of the peak positions of Zn 2p, OII, Fe 2p, and Sn 3d. The crystallite size of hybrid nanostructures has decreased from 28 nm to 12 nm. The prepared pristine samples have a nanocube and nanospike-like morphology for ZnSnO3 and SnFe2O4, whereas the hybrid nanostructure morphology has been modified to have sphere nanoparticles and a sheet-like morphology. The recombination proportion of suppressed charge carriers has been explored using PL examination. PL spectra revealed defect-related emissions such as near band edges and deep-level emission. The bandgap of a nanocomposite has been influentially optimized from 3.2 eV to 1.76 eV using UV studies. The luminescent color of ZnSnO3 was tuned by incorporating tin ferrite. The magnetic moment of tin ferrite created an opportunity to reliably retrieve nanocomposite. SnFe2O4's unique influence on ZnSnO3 has the potential to be used as a photocatalytic magnetic separation, display device, and gas-sensing material.
