Nanocrystalline SnO2 powder has been synthesized via direct precipitation method starting from Sn, HNO3, HCl, and NH4OH. Thermal properties, crystal structural and morphological properties of the precursor and SnO2 powder were investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that the precursor was SnO2 rather than Sn(OH)2 or Sn(OH)4. On the basis of the precursor, well crystallized SnO2 powder with 4-5 nm in diameter was obtained, after calcined at 350 °C for 2 h.

The nanocrystalline ZnO powders were synthesized by a direct thermal decomposition using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as starting materials. The precursor was characterized by TG-DTA to determine the thermal decomposition and crystallization temperature which was found to be at 325 oC. The precursors were calcined at different temperatures of 400, 500, and 600°C for 4 h. The structure of the prepared samples was studied by XRD, confirming the formation of wurtzite structure. The synthesized powders exhibited the UV absorption below 400 nm (3.10 eV) with a well defined absorption peak at around 285 nm (4.35 eV). The estimated direct bandgaps were obtained to be 3.19, 3.16, and 3.14 eV for the ZnO samples thermally decomposed at 400, 500, and 600°C, respectively.

Nanoparticles of cerium oxide (CeO2) are synthesized with cerium (III) nitrates (Ce(NO3)3, 6H2O) by precipitation method in ammonium hydroxyl solution (NH4OH). The influence of several parameters such as nature of the solvent, synthesizing temperature and the calcination on the crystallite size is studied by XRD, TEM and BET methods. The results show that both calcinations and synthesizing temperature affect the particles size. Also, the nature of solvent has a great effect on the morphology of CeO2 nanoparticles.
