Effect of Organic Solvent on Visible Light SnO2 Semiconductor Material
摘要
Various technological devices, from sensors to energy storage, water separators, and solar energy to fuel photocatalysts, use SnO2, a multifunctional semiconductor ceramic. One of the important factors in the manufacture of semiconductor materials is the solvent, which influences the band gap value of the material. The objective of this study is to obtain SnO2 semiconductor material with a band gap in visible light absorption through a simple precipitation method in terms of the impact of ethanol and methanol solvents. The ethanol and methanol solvent effects have band gap values ranging from 2.56 to 2.66 eV.
