Cr-doped SnO2 nanostructures with a rutile tetragonal structure and rough morphology were successfully synthesized using low-temperature modified solvothermal method. Increasing dopant concentration resulted in a decrease in band gap and improved photocatalytic and electrochemical performance.
Cr-doped SnO2 nanostructures with a dopant concentration ranging from 1 to 5% have been successfully prepared using low-temperature modified solvothermal synthesis. The as-prepared nanoparticles showed a rutile tetragonal structure with a rough undefined morphology having no other elemental impurities. The particle shape and size, band gap, and specific surface area of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, UV-visible diffused reflectance spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area studies. The optical band gap was found in the range of 3.23-3.67 eV and the specific surface area was in the range of 108-225 m(2)/g, which contributes to the significantly enhanced photocatalytic and electrochemical performance. Photocatalytic H-2 generation of as-prepared Cr-doped SnO2 nanostructures showed improved effect of the increasing dopant concentration with narrowing of the band gap. Electrochemical water-splitting studies also stressed upon the superiority of Cr-doped SnO2 nanostructures over pristine SnO2 toward hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction responses.
