Abstract

SnO2 powders were prepared using a modified polyol synthesis method and subsequent calcinations. Well-dispersed spherical 2SnO(H2O) particles could be synthesized at room temperature through the modified polyol method using tin (II) 2-ethylhexanoate as the precusor, 1,2-propanediol as the solvent, PVP as the capping agent, and sodium borohydride as the reducing agent. The 2SnO(H2O) nanoparticles agglomerated to form larger particles during the drying step, and most of these larger nanoparticles coalesced with one another. Finally, these 2SnO(H2O) nanoparticles were successfully transformed into the SnO2 phase by calcination for 1 h at 500 °C.
