Zinc-Tin oxide compounds (Zn-Sn-O) were successfully prepared via a facile co-precipitation process using zinc dichloride
dihydrate as the zinc source and tin tetrachloride pentahydrate as an additive source. The as-prepared product of Zn-Sn-O
powders with various Sn additive contents (0-60 %wt) were obtained without calcinations process. The effect of Sn additive on
structural and microstructure properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron
microscope(SEM). The results indicate that the crystallinity and morphologies of ZnO nanoparticles are significantly influenced
by Sn additive. The phase formations of Zn-Sn-O including ZnO, ZnSn(OH)6 were observed depending on the Sn-additive
composition
