Abstract
Nd2Sn2O7 nanoceramic was synthesized using an eco-friendly method with SnCl4•5H2O and Nd(NO3)3•6H2O. Structural analysis confirmed the formation of Nd2Sn2O7 nanoceramic with a size of 20±8 nm. Nd2Sn2O7 was thoroughly characterized using SEM, XRD, TGA, EDX, and TEM techniques. Due to its high mechanical and long-term colloidal stability, large ionic character, and thermal stability, this system is considered an ideal nanocatalyst employing the host-guest approach. This green and environmentally friendly method was tested for the reduction of nitro-aromatic compounds using the synthesized Nd2Sn2O7 nanoceramic. The catalyst demonstrated easy and effective reusability after the reaction was completed under visible light irradiation.
