In present investigation green synthesis of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles has been carried out by simple, eco-friendly and low cost process using guava (Psidium Guajava) leaf extract. The as-synthesized SnO2 nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscope and Energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles was analyzed for the photodegradation of reactive yellow 186 dye under sunlight. SnO2 nanoparticles within size range 8-10 nm effectively degraded 90% of the dye within 180 min at a rate constant of 0.00476 min(-1). (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
