  3. Abstract:
  4. Pure tin oxide nanoparticles ware synthesized via Co-precipitation method. The as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). X-ray diffraction shows that tetrahedral shaped nanoparticles of crystallite size 47.35nm were prepared successfully. The crystallinity was established due the reduction in distortion ratio and dislocation density. The value of strain showed that the nanoparticles fabricated were of high stability. The direct and indirect optical band gap of as-synthesized SnO2 nanoparticles were determined from the reflectance spectra, which were 3eV and 2.65eV respectively. © 2021, S.C.
