The Effect of Calcination Temperature to the Biosynthesis of SnO2 Mediated by Glycine Max

Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as the most promising topic of study. For instance, metal oxide nanoparticles may help in energy generation and storage, water treatment, and catalytic transformations. Nanotechnology controls size and shape since these factors are crucial in deciding nanoparticle performance, affecting qualities like reactivity, conductivity, and magnetic behaviour. However, the synthesis of nanoparticles by photocatalysis involves consumption of toxic chemicals and produced hazardous by-products which can be harmful to the environment. TiO₂, ZnO, and SnO₂ stand out among the most popular photocatalysts because of their affordability, non-toxicity, and chemical stability. SnO₂ has intriguing features, which have been enhanced with the manufacture of this substance in the nanoscale range. SnO₂ is an n-type semiconductor with a high band gap value (3.58 eV).
