Abstract: In the industry today, demand for optical and solar cell technologies is booming. Numerous scientists are engaged in the synthesis of new nanomaterials for the development of optical devices as well as applications for energy conversion and storage. Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) nanoparticles just revealed an exciting pathway for invention in practically all scientific fields. MOS nanoparticles are connected to contemporary research, and scientists anticipate their use in all branches of science and technological advancement in the future. Tin oxide (SnO2) is the most promising material for solar cell as well as other applications form few decades. Due to its valence band gap, high mobility, and wide band gap SnO2 is also the best material for development of perovskite solar cells. In the present investigation, we are focused on the synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles by precipitation method and developed SnO2 Thick films by Screen Printing Technique. The electrical and optical properties of developed thick films were studied. The conductivity of pure SnO2 thick films was found to be 2.78 × 10-5 Ω-1-m. The thickness of film was estimated 87 µm. The optical study was carried out using static photo response system. The light-dependent current variation of prepared SnO2 thick films was investigated for an optical sensor application.

Keywords: Tin oxide, precipitation method, thickness, conductivity, optical sensor.
