If I am doping Ni or Cu in Sn3O4 in which position it will go. Will it go in Sn 2+ or Sn4+ site. more over how we can write the formula for the compound. for example if I am doping Sn in TiO2 I can write Ti0.5Sn0.5O2. how we will write in the case of Sn3O4. can anyone please explain this, your effort will be highly appreciated. Also how we can confirm the doping in such cases. Is there any article regarding same please share here.
Transition metal doping in Sn3O4 generally occurs at the Sn2+sites due to charge and size compatibility, modifying the material's electronic and catalytic properties. The doped compound formula can be represented as (Sn1-xMx)3O4 (M = Ni, Cu), and doping confirmation is done using techniques like XRD, XPS, and TEM to observe lattice changes and oxidation states.
Abdelhak Maghchiche Can you please elaborate the answer regarding the formula and is there any article is available for substantiate the same?
