Characteristics of SnO 2 prepared by preparation method with ammonium nitrate

초록

SnO ₂ powders were prepared from the calcination of stannic acids precipitated from the aqueous solution of SnCl ₄ with ammonium nitrate as a precipitator at 90 °C. For the comparison of properties, the stannic acids were prepared from the homogeneous precipitation method using urea as a precipitator at the same temperature. The stannic acid from ammonium nitrate at a thermal gravity analysis showed the weight loss until 700 °C and the percentage of total weight loss was 16.5%. The crystallization of stannic acid into SnO ₂ finished in the calcination at 600 °C for 2 h. The crystallite size of SnO ₂ increased with the increase of calcination temperature and initial concentration of SnCl ₄ solution. In case of the same calcination condition, SnO ₂ prepared from homogeneous precipitation using urea had a relatively smaller crystallite size rather than SnO ₂ prepared from ammonium nitrate.
