Facile Synthesis of SnS2 Nanoparticles and Catalytic Reduction of Lemon Yellow

SnS2 nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method from thioacetamide and stannic chloride, and the as-prepared SnS2 nanoparticles are characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and AC impedance spectrum technology. Electrochemical reduction of lemon yellow at nano SnS2-modied glassy carbon electrode is investigated, and the results indicating that the SnS2 nanoparticles have a certain catalytic effect on lemon yellow, and the reduction mechanism and detection of lemon yellow are also discussed.
