Description

Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal process, tin tetrachloride was dissolved in distilled water, and ammonia was used as a precursor to control pH. Zinc and zinc oxide were used as dopants to modify the structural properties of tin oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron microscope (XPS) to study their structural, morphological, average particle size and surface properties.
