Description
This research data supports the publication "Facile Synthesis of SnO2-PbS Nanocomposites with Controlled Structure for Visible Light Photocatalysis", which is published in 'Nanoscale'. Synthetic and analytical data for SnO2 nanoparticles, PbS nanocubes and SnO2-PbS nanocomposites prepared in Cambridge in 2014-2015. Analysis includes X-ray diffraction data and Rietveld refinement, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Photocatalytic data is presented for each material for the degradation of Rhodamine B in aqueous solution.
