Abstract

Abstract: Nanoparticles of SnO2 and ZnO were successfully synthesised by simple solution route via environmental friendly approach using Simarouba Glauca leaf extract as biosolvent. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV, SEM, and TEM. The photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared SnO2 and ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated by degradation of Congo Red (CR), a common textile dye, under sunlight irradiation.
