چکیده
|
the paper investigates the structural, optical and photocatalytic activity of large surface area single crystalline copper (cu) doped sno2 nanorods (nrs) synthesized by a novel one-step microwave irradiation method. powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis confirms that both pure and cu doped sno2 are tetragonal rutile type structure (space group p42/mnm) formed during the microwave process within 10 min without any post annealing treatment. transmission electron microscopy (tem) reveals that the as synthesized cu doped sno2 samples exhibited rod-like shape and the length was less than 80 nm and diameter was about few nanometers. typical selected-area electron diffraction (saed) pattern indicates that, the growth direction of cu–sno2 nanorod is along [110] direction. the variety of phonon interaction in the pure and cu doped sno2 is observed by raman spectroscopy. electron paramagnetic resonance and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) confirms that the presence of copper and tin as cu2+ and sn4+ in state, respectively. the photocatalytic activity was monitored via the degradation of methylene blue (mb) and rhodamine b (rhb) dyes and the cu–sno2 showed better photocatalytic activity than that of pure sno2. this could be attributed to the effective electron–hole separation by surface modification.
