Tin oxide (SnO{sub 2}) nanoparticles have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD analysis confirmed the single phase formation of SnO{sub 2} nanoparticles. The Raman shifts showed the typical feature of the tetragonal phase of the as-synthesized SnO{sub 2} nanoparticles. At low annealing temperature, a strong distortion of the crystalline structure and high degree of agglomeration was observed. It is concluded that the crystallinity of SnO{sub 2} nanoparticles improves with the increase in annealing temperature.
