Photocatalytic activity of galvanically synthesized nanostructure SnO2 thin films

The study demonstrates an approach to synthesize nanostructure SnO2 thin films on TCO (transparent conducting oxide) coated glass substrates by galvanic technique. Aqueous solution of hydrated stannic chloride (SnCl4⋅5H2O) in potassium nitrate (KNO3) solution was used as the working solution. The process involves no sophisticated reactor or toxic chemicals, and proceeds continuously under ambient condition; it provides an economic way of...
