    The Best Route to Synthesis SnSb Nanoparticle with Low Distribution of Size
    (2011) Nithyadharseni, P; Nalini, B
    Nano-sized particles of Sn-Sb alloy powders were synthesized by three kinds of reductive precipitation methods: rapid mixing, slow (solution) titration and slow titration with microwave assistance. The structure and morphology of synthesized Sn-Sb alloy powders were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Slow, rapid mixed Sn-Sb alloy powders exhibit trace of parent materials and relatively large particle size (average) of 100-250 nm. In contrast, the microwave assisted Sn-Sb shows almost negligible influence from the parent material and a narrow size distribution (40-70nm). The particle size characterization through SEM, TEM and Dynamic Light Scattering in dispersed fluid agreed well with each other.
