Abstract
The SnO2-NiO nanocomposites with the specific surface area on the order of 100 m2/g and the particle size of both phases of less than 10 nm have been synthesized by the sol-gel method with the subsequent annealing in the temperature interval 200–1000°C. It has been shown that, with an increase in the annealing temperature to 900°C, the specific surface area of the nanocomposites increases. This effect has been explained by the increase in the porosity due to the destruction of the aggregates of primary amorphous particles. The electrical conductivity has been measured and the parameters of the surface defects have been determined.
