Özet
SnO nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized in the presence of Triton-X 100 (TX-100) surfactant via hydrothermal method for the first time, and the photocatalytic activity under UV and visible light irradiation for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RdB) organic textile dyes was investigated. The structural, morphological and chemical characterizations were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis. diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The results reveal that the addition of surfactant, TX-100, in the precursor solutions leads to reduction in crystallite size with significant changes in morphological structure of SnO nanoparticles. The synthesized SnO nanoparticles show excellent photocatalytic activity under UV or visible light irradiation. MB and RdB dyes degraded completely under UV irradiation after 90 and 150 min, respectively. Also, MB and RdB dyes degraded only 150 min later under visible light illumination with a little amount of photocatalyst (0.8 g/L). Hence, this work explores the facile route to synthesizing efficient SnO nanoparticles for degrading organic compound under both UV and visible light irradiations.
