Abstract :
In this research on (0.00, 0.025, 0.045, 0.065 M %) Zn/SnO2 nanoparticles have been prepared effectively chemical precipitation route on different doping concentration of zinc from 0.00 to 0.065%. XRD results showed the crystalline nature for different doping concentrations that are existed as a tetragonal structure. HR-TEM investigation of pictures confirms the presence of very little, homogeneously dispersed, and spherical shapes are observed. The crystallite size is calculated using the Scherrer formula and was formed in the size of nanoparticles range from 11.6 nm to 42.0 nm. The presence of dopant (i.e. Zn) and arrangement of Sn to O phase and hydrous nature of Zn/SnO2 nanoparticles are confirmed by EDX and FTIR (O-Sn-O stretching) investigations. The band gap value is observed from 3.20 eV to 3.50 eV in undoped and Zn/SnO2 nanoparticles, Due to the large grain size. The grains size develops so deformity density decreases and increases crystalllinity. These defects act as luminescent focuses and cause a decrease in emission intensity and increase in the band gap. The cyclic voltammetry investigation is a specific capacitance value, calculate as 496 F/g and 572 F/g was obtained at a scan rate 5 mV/s for undoped and (0.025 M %) Zn/SnO2 nanoparticles it’s suitable for supercapacitor applications
