Abstract

Tin oxide is a vital industrial substance that is utilised in a variety of applications. Under moderate reaction conditions, a simple and highly effective technique for producing tin oxide modified with oxime by solvent-base liquid-phase addition over tin chloride had been devised. Tin precursors that have been modified with chelating ligands are frequently used to produce tin oxide nanostructures. Acetoxime-modified tin chloride [SnCl2.2[HONC(CH3)2] was efficiently synthesised at room temperature and demonstrated operational simplicity, as evidenced by 1H and 119Sn NMR. The sol–gel method and spray pyrolysis deposition approach were used to convert the precursor, [SnCl2.2[HONC(CH3)2], to tin oxide nanoparticles and the optically transparent (visible reign) film, respectively. The powder XRD pattern of the produced tin oxide nanoparticles implies that tetragonal cassiterite was generated. The scanning electron microscope pictures of the ~ 264 nm thin tin oxide layer reveal homogenous dense film deposition. The transmittance of the films is 87–91% in the visible region, and the band gaps are around 3.26–3.29 eV, making these films appropriate for TCO (transparent conductive oxide) applications.
