Synthesis of Polycrystalline Spherical SnO2 Microparticles via Hydrothermal Treatment in the Presence of Mixed Surfactants

Abstract

The spherical microparticles of SnO2 were synthesized successfully by hydrothermal treatment of their precursor consisting of SnCl4 and mixed surfactants, followed by calcination at 500 °C.

Hydrothermal synthesis of flower-like SnO2 particles consisting of single-crystalline nanorods through crystal growth in the presence of poly(acrylic acid)

“…Previously, various types of SnO 2 particles have been prepared by the hydrothermal process in the presence of organic molecules, where the hydrothermal conditions accelerate the dissolution and precipitation and the organic molecules controls the nucleation and growth. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Guo et al prepared nanorods consisting of SnO 2 crystallites using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template. 15 Du et al reported the formation of SnO 2 hollow microspheres composed of nanoparticles from a precursor solution containing carbamide.…”

Formation of spherical SnO2 particles consisting of nanocrystals from aqueous solution of SnCl4 containing citric acid via hydrothermal process

“…Lupan et al [26,27] have reported the preparation of SnO 2 microcubes and nanowires by a simple hydrothermal process at low temperatures below 98 1C without the use of templates or seed crystals. Moreover, organic additives play an important role for the morphological control of SnO 2 crystals via hydrothermal processes [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Guo et al [28] prepared nanorods consisting of SnO 2 crystallites using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template.…”
