Abstract

The oxygen chemisorption on nanocrystalline SnO2 at temperature range between 100 and 450 °C was studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA) and electrical conductivity measurement. The O2, O, and O2m ionosorptions were observed and could be distinguished from each other only on nanocrystalline SnO2 with grain size less than 5 nm. Assuming steady-state adsorption, the heats of adsorption for O2 and O (or O2−) on nanocrystalline SnO2 are 1.09 and 1.50 eV respectively from the results of DTA.
