FACILE SYNTHESIS OF SNS NANOPARTICLES AND SNS-RGO NANOCOMPOSITES AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS PROPERTIES FOR MULTIFUNCTION APPLICATION

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) have piqued the interest of researchers since their discovery due to their distinguishable properties and vast variety of uses. Various synthesis methods have been used to create semiconductor nanoparticles throughout the last few decades. And have piqued the curiosity of researchers due to their unusual features. In this work, we attempted to synthesize SnS NPs and SnS-rGO NCs using the hydrothermal technique. Ethylene glycol is used as a solvent, and thiourea is used as a sulfur source. Different approaches were used to characterize the synthesized SnS NPs and SnS-rGO NCs. The optical characteristics of synthesized materials are studied using UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The FESEM technique is used to investigate material morphology. The elemental component has been examined using the EDS technique. The XRD pattern is used to investigate crystallinity and phase orientation. The synthesized SnS NPs and SnS-rGO NCs are in the orthorhombic phase, according to XRD analysis, and the crystallite size was determined using the Deby-Sheerer equation. The FTIR approach was utilized to confirm the presence of various functional groups in SnS NPs and SnS-rGO NCs synthesized.
