Extract

SnO2 hollow spherical particles have been prepared by pyrolysis of an aerosol produced by ultrahigh frequency of a SnCl2 precursor solution. The spheres obtained were found to be amorphous when the pyrolysis temperature is <500 °C, but they crystallize to cassiterite at temperatures higher than 600 °C. The spherical shape is kept when as-received samples are annealed at temperatures ranging between 500 and 1100°CC, but they are polycrystalline, the crystallite size being controlled as a function of the annealing temperature.
