A STUDY ON CHARACTERIZATION & SYNTHESIS

Abstract

During the course of the previous ten years, nanostructured binary semiconducting metal oxides have received a great deal of interest due to the distinctive properties that they possess. Because to these characteristics, they are suitable for a wide variety of different applications. There has been a visible increase in interest in ternary complex oxides over the past few years. This can be linked to the pursuit of further strengthening the physical and chemical features. Zinc stannate, which is also referred to as zinc tin oxide (ZTO), is a member of the family of ternary oxides that is recognised for having properties that are stable under harsh conditions, possessing a greater electron mobility in comparison to its binary analogues, and exhibiting a variety of optical properties that are unique to themselves. As a result, the substance is ideal for usage in a wide range of applications, such as photocatalysts, solar cells, and sensors. The hydrothermal method is an especially promising green process since it can be executed at lower temperatures. The creation of ZTO nanostructures may be accomplished in a variety of methods, and this particular method is only one of them. In this work, we present a synopsis of the conditions that led to the formation of diverse ZTO nanostructures by employing the hydrothermal method.
