Abstract

A simple solution plasma method was applied to the synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles directly from tin(II) chloride solution, without adding any precipitant, stabilizer, or other agents at atmospheric pressure, because solution plasma provides a reaction field with a highly excited energy state. The results of X-ray power diffraction (XRD) analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) verified that well-crystallized SnO2 nanoparticles in the size range of 2-5 nm were synthesized. SnO2 nanoparticles show satisfactory sensitivities to acetaldehyde and ethanol.
