Title A name given to the resource An investigation on structural and optical properties of reduced graphene oxide-tin oxide nanocomposite Subject The topic of the resource Gel-combustion; Hydrothermal reduction; Nanocomposite; Reduced graphene oxide; SnO2 nanoparticles Description An account of the resource Graphene-metal oxide composites have attracted tremendous research interest in recent days due to their unique and fascinating properties. In the present study, rGO and SnO2 were synthesized separately by modified Hummers' method and nitrate-citrate gel combustion technique respectively. One step hydrothermal method was used to prepare reduced graphene oxide-tin oxide nanocomposite of various concentrations of rGO and SnO2.The obtained samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman Spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM and TEM. The results of different characterization techniques showed the successful formation of SnO2, rGO and SnO2-rGO composites. X-ray analysis pattern indicates formation of the SnO2 nanoparticles in the graphene matrix. The size of the particles prepared is in nanoscale and was found to be 10-20 nm range. TEM images reveal the incorporation of crystalline SnO2 nanoparticles in graphene layers. Upon incorporation of tin oxide to graphene matrix, one could easily tailor the energy gap of the composite matrix. 2020 World Research Association. All rights reserved.
