Abstract: Nanosized SnO2 powders were synthesized by using the direct pyrolysis means from SnC2O4 .The specimens were characterized by TEM, XRD, TG-DTA, FTIR and BET. TEM and XRD showed that the SnO2 crystallines were less than 8 nm in diameter together with a narrow particle size distribution. BET showed that the surface area of SnO2 was 115.2 m2/g. FTIR spectra revealed that the absorptions of Sn—O and —OH bonds in SnO2 ultrafine powders were red-shifted and broadened. According to the curve of TG-DTA, SnC2O4 transformed into SnO2 completely after being calcined at 250 ℃. Further gas sensing experiments testified that the response and recovery times to C2H5OH were shorter than those obtained by the conventional precipitation method.
