Abstract

Tin oxide (SnO₂) nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of SnCl₄·5H₂O in methanol, ethanol and water via sol–gel method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. The optical properties of the as-prepared samples were investigated. The XRD analysis showed well crystallized tetragonal SnO₂ can be obtained and the crystal sizes were 3.9, 4.5 and 5 nm for the sample calcined at 400 °C for 2 h. It was found that solvents played important roles in the particle size effect of nanocrystalline SnO₂.
