Recent advances in zirconium based ion exchangers have made attention in the 21st century due to its high efficiency in catalytic activity and dye degradation. However, its structural and optical parameters need to explore more in search of their new properties. This paper includes a study on the structural, morphological, optical and thermal properties of newly synthesized nano-structured quaternary ion-exchange material, zirconium tin bismuth molybdate (ZSBM) synthesized using simple co-precipitation method. The chemicals used for the synthesis of ZSBM are zirconium oxychloride, tin chloride, bismuth nitrate and sodium molybdate in the ratio 1:1:1:3. XRD pattern shows polycrystalline nature having crystallite size in the nano-size regime. SEM images shows circular patches dispersed in a smooth surface for ZSBM. EDAX spectra reveals the extra purity of the sample. The substance has absorbance in the UV region and high reflectance over the visible and near infrared region. The UV-VIS-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy assigns wide energy band gap value of 2.798eV, when calculated using Kubelka Munk function. Thermal analysis shows high thermal stability over 7000C, which ensures its high temperature applications.
