Tin oxide nanoparticles synthesized by gel combustion and their potential for gas detection

Scopus: "Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized starting from SnCl4.5H2O with the aid of polyacrylamide gel. The pyrolysis of the gel and the influence of the calcination temperature were discussed based on thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction."

The prepared SnO2 nanoparticles were sphere-like and uniform in size, weakly aggregated in thin platelets as indicated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. Thick-film sensor samples based on the as-synthesized SnO2 nanoparticles
