Size-Tunable Hydrothermal Synthesis of SnS2 Nanocrystals with High Performance in Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Reduction of Aqueous Cr(VI)
Abstract
SnS(2) nanocrystals with adjustable sizes were synthesized via a hydrothermal method from the aqueous solution of common and inexpensive SnCl(4)·5H(2)O, thioacetamide and citric acid, simply by varying the reaction temperature and reaction time. The structures, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas and optical properties of the resultant SnS(2) nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N(2) adsorption/desorption isotherms, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra. Besides, their photocatalytic properties were tested for the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. It was found that the photocatalytic activities of SnS(2) nanocrystals in aqueous suspension depended on their synthesis conditions. The product synthesized under suitable hydrothermal conditions (for example, at 150 °C for 12 h) not only showed high visible light-driven photocatalytic activity in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI), but also showed good photocatalytic stability. Our photocatalytic results suggested that SnS(2) nanocrystals are a promising photocatalyst in the efficient utilization of solar energy for the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
