This paper reports on a simple and inexpensive ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method to synthesize agglomerate-free nanosized SnO sub(2) particles with a size smaller than 10 nm. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high resolution X-ray diffraction studies were used to cha...
