Abstract

Polyaniline-modified tin oxide and tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a solution route technique. The obtained pristine products were characterized with X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and optical absorption spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis results showed that the polyaniline-modified SnO2 nanoparticles exhibit higher thermal stability than the SnO2 nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy analysis on the as-synthesized powders showed spherical particle in the range of 50–100 nm.
