The invention relates to a method for thermally synthesizing a nanometer
zinc-doped
tin oxide /
zinc stannate heterojunction by utilizing a
solvent. The method comprises the following steps: 1) selecting a certain amount of
tin oxide,
zinc nitrate and
sodium hydroxide, and respectively dissolving in a mixed
solvent of water and absolute ethyl
alcohol, thereby obtaining a uniform solution; 2) dropwise adding a NaOH solution into a
mixed solution of SnC14 and Zn(NO3)2, stirring, and then placing into a reaction kettle, keeping the temperature at 180 DEG C for 15 hours, and separating, washing anddrying the obtained Zn-SnO2; 3) weighting a certain amount of Zn-SnO2, SnC14, Zn(NO3)2 and NaOH, adding into the mixed
solvent of water and absolute ethyl
alcohol, and continuously and fully stirring; 4) dropwise adding the NaOH solution into a
mixed solution of SnC14, Zn(NO3)2 and Zn-SnO2, fully stirring, and then placing into a hydro-
thermal reaction kettle, and keeping the temperature at 200 DEG C for 20 hours; and 5) separating, washing and
drying, thereby obtaining an end product. The synthesizing technology of the product is simple; the product is 20-30nm spherical grains; the product has the characteristics of a mesoporous structure and has a bigger specific surface area; and the product has an excellent photocatalytic property under an
ultraviolet light condition.
