Morphologically controlled synthesis, structural and optical properties of CeO2/SnO2 nanocomposites

CeO2/SnO2 nanocomposites with different dimensional nanostructures were synthesized by a wet chemical method, using various surfactants such as SDS, CTAB and Triton X-100. The prepared CeO2/SnO2 samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
