Pure and Antimony- doped Tin Oxide Nanoparticles for Fluorescence Sensing and Dye Degradation Applications
JOURNAL OF FLUORESCENCE(2024)
摘要
Luminescent antimony doped tin oxide nanoparticles have drawn tremendous attention from researchers due to its low cost, chemical inertness and stability. Herein, a quick, facile and economic hydrothermal/solvothermal method was utilized for the preparation of antimony doped (1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 10%) tin oxide nanoparticles. The antimony doping in a reasonable range can change the properties of SnO2. As such, a lattice distortion increases with increase in doping, which is evidenced through crystallographic studies. It was found that the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency of malachite green (MG) dye of about 80.86% was achieved with 10% Sb-doped SnO2 in aqueous media due to small particle size. Moreover, 10% Sb-doped -SnO2 also showed the highest fluorescence quenching efficiency of about 27% for Cd2+ of concentration 0.11 mu g/ ml in the drinking water. The limit of detection (LOD) comes out as 0.0152 mu g/ml. This sample selectively detected the cadmium ion even in the presence of other heavy metal ions. Notably, 10% Sb-doped -SnO2 could appeared as a promising sensor for fast analysis of Cd2+ ions in real samples.
