        abstract = {For the photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye, pure Tin Oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles are successfully synthesized from metallic Tin (Sn) and Zinc (Zn) powders using a very straightforward and quick flame oxidation method. The nanoparticles' structural, optical, elemental, and chemical properties are then studied. The produced SnO2 nanoparticles have pure tetragonal phases, according to X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) was used to analyze purity, atomic percentage, and chemical composition. The UV-visible spectroscopy study showed that SnO2 has a band gap value of 3.5 eV. Pure SnO2 nanoparticles exhibit uneven, agglomerated, nanoflowered, and nanoclustered formation, according to FESEM research. When exposed to UV light, the addition of SnO2 increased the photocatalytic activity. SnO2 degrades MB with an efficiency of more than 80%, demonstrating its effectiveness as a photocatalyst.},
