Description

In the present study, we have synthesized Sn0.2Fe0.9Cr0.9O3 nano oxides. Single phase corundum -like structure and nanophase structure of the as-synthesized sample were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the produced powders have grain size of approximately 32 nm. Using the result of the UV-Vis spectrometer, we were able to determine the energy band gaps of 3.1 and 5.2 eV, when nanoparticles diluted in iron standard and in deionised water respectively.
