In the present study I have developed an eco-friendly mechanochemical solid state method with green chemistry approach for the synthesis of CdSnO3. The photocatalyst was characterized to carry out physicochemical characterization by various analytical techniques like, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet diffused reflectance Spectroscopy...

... may be due to fact that, the increase in the photocatalyst amount actually increases the active sites on the photocatalyst surface causing increase in number of electrons and holes resulting faster degradation. The photocatalytic degradation of the dye is believed to take place according to the following mechanism ( Figure 10). When a CdSnO 3 photocatalyst was exposed to UV-visible radiation, electrons are promoted from the valence band to the conduction band, as a result of this, an electron-hole pairs are produced. ...

... variation in light intensity was found to be 940 x 50000 to 650 x 50000 Lux during experiment time. Overall degradation of indigo carmine in presence of CdSnO 3 photocatalyst obeys first order kinetics with rate constant 0.0023 min -1 ( Figure 11). Conclusions: The photocatalyst, CdSnO 3 was synthesized by green chemistry using solid state mechanochemical method followed by calcination. ...

The present study reports the synthesis of SnS2 nanoparticles with different morphologies via a facile thermal decomposition approach. The SnS2 nanoparticles were synthesized using tin chloride and thiourea (or thioacetamide) in two different solvents (diphenyl ether and 1-octadecene). The SnS2 nanoparticles were extensively characterized using dif...
