Synthesis of Albumen (Egg white) Assisted SnO 2 Nanoparticles by Microwave Irradiation Method

The Tin dioxide nanoparticle is synthesized in the microwave irradiation method with albumen (egg white). This method is simple and cost effect synthesis of SnO 2 nanoparticles. The egg white foam was assisted to increase the reaction ra te and this method helps to attain the particle size in the ran ge 75-80nm. The result from X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed th e formation of nano crystalline phase with particle size range fro m 75nm to 80nm. The samples were further analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence spectrum (Pl), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and resistivity measurement.
