Thermal analysis and reaction profile of SnO2 nanomaterial
Abstract
SnO2 nanomaterial was synthesized using the non-catalytic horizontal vapor phase growth technique. The resulting nanostructured SnO2 were then subjected to Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis to obtain its thermal properties such as its melting point, latent heat of fusion, exothermic peak temperature, thermal resistance, thermal conductance and specific heat capacity. The reaction profile was then obtained from the DSC measurements.
