Abstract

Tuning of the tin oxide (SnO/SnO2) heterojunction (TOHJ) has been made possible by heating the as-prepared p-type SnO semiconductor in air in a controlled fashion. Thus a better photocatalytic activity for dye degradation under UV, visible as well as solar light irradiation was achieved. Multiple reflection of light and the TOHJ of SnO plates facilitate the photocatalysis reactions.
