研究目的
Investigating the right oxidation temperature to synthesize tin oxide nanowires and improving the structural and optical properties of the synthesized tin oxide thin film by oxidation temperature.
研究成果
Tin oxide nanowires were successfully synthesized on Silicon substrate by using thermal oxidation method at oxidation temperature 500 oC with diameter in nanometers. The energy band gap Eg of SnO2 was found to be 1.21 eV at optimized oxidation temperature of 500 oC. The PL emission spectra of SnO2 nanowires exhibit peaks at 450 nm, 500 nm, and 650 nm excitations. The most suitable oxidation temperature for preparation of SnO2 nanowire is 500 oC, and the thermal oxidation is a very efficient and simple process for the preparation of homogenous SnO2 nanoparticles.
研究不足
The study is limited to the synthesis and characterization of tin oxide nanostructures at specific oxidation temperatures (450 oC, 500 oC, and 550 oC). The effects of other parameters such as deposition rate, oxygen partial pressure, and annealing temperature were not investigated.
