Abstract
In the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) via wet chemical reduction using tin(II) acetate precursor, the effects of green reducing agents (sugar) and a capping agent (gelatin) on the formation of NPs were analyzed as functions of synthesis conditions and time. When glucose was used as the reducing agent, it was observed that irregular chainlike shapes, aggregates of NPs, were formed during the synthesis at $70-110^{\circ}C$. The NPs were determined as $SnO_2$ from the fast Fourier transform (FFT) pattern. In the synthesis at $110^{\circ}C$ by using sucrose, fine spherical NPs of ~10 nm in diameter were formed after the synthesis time of 3 h. As the time increased to 9 h, the chainlike NP aggregates besides irregularly aggregated spherical NPs were also formed locally. However, the chainlike NP aggregates were only observed when the synthesis was conducted at $130^{\circ}C$. The spherical NPs and chainlike NP aggregates were analyzed to be pure Sn and $SnO_2$, respectively.
