Indium Tin Oxide Nanocomposites – Green Synthesis, Characterization, Morphology and Optical Properties Using Almond Gum

In this present study, Tin doped In2O3 metal oxide was synthesized by green synthesis using almond gum as a reducing agent. The prepared Nanocomposite (Ncs) was characterized by TG-DTA, XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. From TG-DTA able to get some information regarding calcination temperature. This was found out to be over 300 °C. The XRD study revealed that the In2O3-SnO2nanocomposite with crystal size 13 nm to 16 nm. The SEM study revealed that the morphology of prepared nanocomposite is Cubic phased sphere structure, and EDAX data show that elements in the composite of In2O3-SnO2 are O 74.71%, In 23.45%, and Sn 1.84%. FT-IR spectra confirm the formation of the In-O-In and Sn-O-Sn type of bonding. The UV-Vis spectra imply the bandgap of generated In2O3- Sno2Ncs is 3.83ev.
