The structures and UV resistance of Ag/SnO₂ nanocomposite materials was observed in this study for coating applications. Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth (HVPG) was used to synthesize the Ag/SnO₂ nanocomposite materials. The ratio between Ag and SnO₂ was fixed with stoichiometric mixtures of 0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, and 5:0. Scanning electron microscope–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) was used to evaluate the morphology of the materials. The results were then compared with Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis. Computational DFT analysis of the SnO₂ (110) and Ag (111) cells have verified nanorods formation of the composite material. Moreover, DFT results of Ag/SnO₂ confirmed the UV blocking properties from their computed electrical bandgap energies of the range from 2.72 to 4.84 eV. The highest UV absorbance of nanocomposite was observed for 1:4 Ag/SnO₂ stoichiometric ratio with 8.09 A. The study shows that the ration of SnO₂ over Ag increases, the absorbance increases as well.

在这项研究中，观察到了Ag / SnO ₂纳米复合材料的结构和抗紫外线性能。使用水平气相生长（HVPG）合成Ag / SnO ₂纳米复合材料。用0：5、1：4、2：3、3：2、4：1和5：0的化学计量混合物固定Ag和SnO ₂之间的比例。扫描电子显微镜–能量色散X射线光谱（SEM–EDX）用于评估材料的形貌。然后将结果与密度泛函理论（DFT）分析进行比较。SnO ₂（110）和Ag（111）电池的计算DFT分析已验证了复合材料的纳米棒形成。此外，Ag / SnO _2的DFT结果通过计算得出的2.72至4.84 eV的带隙能，证实了紫外线阻隔性能。在化学计量比为1：4的Ag / SnO ₂和8.09 A的情况下，观察到纳米复合材料的最高UV吸收率。研究表明SnO ₂与Ag的比例增加，吸收率也增加。
