Abstract

We report herein additive-free, environmentally sustainable, rapid, and phytosynthetic route for spherical-shaped SnO2 nanostructures (NSs) employing Syzygium cumini (SC) leaf extract. To get insights into structural, optical, morphological, elemental, and surface properties of obtained NSs, in-depth spectroscopic, microscopic, and BET analyses were employed. The tetragonal structure with 3.26 nm size was confirmed by XRD patterns, however, the Sn–O–Sn bond observed at 560–645 cm−1 in FT-IR suggests the formation of SnO2. The surface area obtained for SnO2 NSs is 58.43 m2/g. The SnO2 NSs showed excellent dye removal efficiency for methyl orange (MO) (88%) and methylene blue (MB) (96%) within 180 and 120 min, respectively. The relevance of point of zero charge (pHpzc) for the degradation of dyes is also discussed. Here, the novel green mediator for the synthesis of SnO2 is reported and efficiently it explored in photocatalysis applications.
