Publication date: Available online 12 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Rajesh Pandiyan, Shanmugam Mahalingam, Young-Ho AhnAbstractBacterial and dye pollution are major problems with wastewater treatment. An increasing number of photocatalysts are being used in industry to kill bacterial and reduce pollution. In the present study, highly stable SnO2-doped nanocomposites have been prepared successively by a hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using a range of techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron probe micro analysis, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and high resolut...
