Abstract

We have successfully tailored a soft solution process for the synthesis of monodispersed SnO₂ nanoparticles, applying a liquid phase deposition technique from an aqueous reaction mixture without any post-annealing treatment. The synthesis was carried out by varying poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) content in the reaction mixture. The XRD patterns of the nanoparticles exhibited the formation of SnO₂ cassiterite phase, irrespective of the PEG content in the composition of the reaction solution, the reaction time, and the reaction temperature. The mean size and the standard deviation of SnO₂ nanoparticles exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing PEG concentration.
