Title: Investigation of tin oxide nanofibers synthesized via bio-template technique

Abstract

In the present paper tin oxide nanofibers have been by synthesized using cotton as bio-template via sol-gel route. This is comparatively a new synthesis technique. The structure and morphology of the obtained SnO{sub 2} nanofibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The optical properties of the same have been studied by using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The observed XRD pattern showed that peaks are very narrow and sharp which indicates crystalline nature of samples. SEM images gave an idea about the sample morphology and confirm that the obtained sample were nanofibers. The optical absorbance spectrum of the sample under study was recorded in UV-visible region (200nm- 800nm). The band gap of the sample was found to be 3.95 eV which is higher than their bulk counterpart.
