Ultrafine tetragonal rutile phase tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles (called as TONP’s) are synthesized by microwave-assisted precipitation route using various solvents like water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-propanol and water. The structural, size and morphological features are studied using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. The crystalline nature, crystallite size (~5-15 nm) and phase purity of the TONP’s are observed from the powder XRD analysis. The elongated spherical shaped particles with size range of 5 nm are observed from the TEM analysis.
