Ecofriendly synthesis of ultra-small metal-doped SnO 2 quantum dots
An ecofriendly synthesis is established to obtain ultra-small SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) doped with metals by a hydrothermal method using only tin tetrachloride, urea, and water as reagents. This synthesis was done in a short period time at low temperature and without surfactants. Microscopy analysis...

| Sumario: | An ecofriendly synthesis is established to obtain ultra-small SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) doped with metals by a hydrothermal method using only tin tetrachloride, urea, and water as reagents. This synthesis was done in a short period time at low temperature and without surfactants. Microscopy analysis revealed the formation of doped tin oxide NPs with a diameter smaller than 2.8 nm. Un-doped and doped tin oxides were obtained with a tetragonal type rutile structure with an average surface area of 348 m2/g. |
