Abstract: (1111 Views)

Perovskite materials are widely studied for their super-conducting, magnetic, catalytic and electro-optic properties. Among them, barium stannate (BaSnO₃), finds applications in dielectric and optically active devices, thermally stable capacitors, humidity and gas sensors. In this study, BaSnO₃was synthesized by chemical and greener methods and comparative analyses has been performed on their electrochemical, third order nonlinear, dye deactivation and bacterial suppression properties. Decreased crystallite size was realized for the green synthesized BaSnO₃. Energy band gaps were 3.23 and 3.04 eV for BaSnO₃ synthesized by normal and greener approach, respectively. The extract mediated sample exhibited increased specific capacitance value. Photocatalytic degradation efficiencies were 78.4% and 89.7%, respectively for BaSnO₃ synthesized by normal and greener approach against methyl violet after 90 min of UV light irradiation. Enhanced nonlinear optical parameters were obtained for the extract mediated BaSnO₃. Excellent antibacterial efficacy against Proteus vulgaris bacteria was realized for the greener BaSnO₃ NPs thanks to the domination of phytochemicals of M. olifera leaf extract.
