The chemical formula of tin oxide is SnO. This chemical compound consists of two elements, which are- tin and oxygen. Generally, this compound can be produced in two forms; one is blue-black and another is in the red form. First one is a stable form; on the other hand, the second one is metastable form of tin oxide. Preparation of SnO is possible in any laboratory.

Today, research on Nano particles is going throughout the world, and scientists are busy inventing the multiple uses of these particles. With the advancement of Nano technology, it is already proved that Nano particles and properties in them are very useful in the industrial, mechanical and electrical development. Tin oxide powder is such a compound of oxide nanostructures. Tin oxide can also be found in the form of a white powder with orbicular morphology. Different kinds of chemical, physical and thermal properties are found in this chemical compound.

Utility of the tin oxide powder

All kinds of Nano particles can be applied in different areas of works such as optics, electronics, drug transport, and in the field of bio-technology. This nano particle of Tin oxide is also useful in the fields of different types of heavy industries. Tin oxide powder is ideal for use in magnetic areas because of the magnetic properties. These particles can be used in imaging of magnetic resonance and magnetic data storage. Powder of tin oxide can be also used as coating for saving energy and for anti-static effect.

Utilization of tin oxide is not bounded just within these areas, it also can take a role of electrode and can protect the solar cells through anti-reflection coating system. On the other hand, gas sensors, resistors and optoelectronic devices are made with the help of tin oxide. Tin oxide powder suppliers also produce them to be used in liquid crystal display.
