Tin oxide nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method using
octadecylamine surfactant as a templating agent. The synthesis was
carried out at different concentration of surfactant keeping all
other reaction conditions constant i.e time, intensity and
temperature. The particle size decreases with the increase in
concentration of surfactant up to critical micelle concentration
(CMC). After CMC, increase in particle size occured with the
increase in concentration of surfactant and this was attributed to
the formation of micelles. The nanoparticles were applied as
nanocatalyst under UV and visible light for the photodegradation of
methylene blue (MB) dye, which is an environmental hazardous
material of industrial waste water. The graphs of pseudo first
order were plotted as a function of irradiation time to quantify
the degradation activity. The nanoparticles were characterized by
Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM),
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and TGA (Thermogravimeteric Analysis).
