In this research, different concentrations of manganese dioxide (MnO2) and tin dioxide (SnO2) are composed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form the PVA/MnO2/SnO2 films. The optical images demonstrate surface structure and morphological characteristics of the prepared films. The FTIR of PVA/SnO2/MnO2 nanocomposites manifest the obvious broad peaks at 3264 and 3242 cm−1 due to –OH groups and at 2020 cm−1 due to stretching vibrations. The optical characteristics of PVA/MnO2/SnO2 films are recorded by means of UV–Vis spectroscopy. The band gap is reduced from 3.73 eV to 2.95 eV for PVA/SnO2/MnO2 nanocomposites, and the absorbance is increased with the increasing of SnO2/MnO2 added to PVA. The optical conductivity also is increased with the increasing of incident photon energy. These results open a good opportunity for applications in different devices such as energy storage systems and optoelectronics devices.
