A new modified technique of synthesizing tin oxide nanoparticles with crystallite size of 2 nm to 6 nm has been developed. Surface area of the nanoparticle has been increased as we approached towards the Debye length. Such a techniques for approaching the Debye length is expected to bring remarkable changes in the properties of resistive based gas sensors. The technique used here is less toxic, economical and has high yield. Phase purity, size, shape and composition has been investigated using x-ray diffraction, micro Raman, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x ray spectroscopy. While surface area has been calculated through Brunaur-Emmett-Teller (BET).
