ZrO_2-SnO_2 composite nanoparticles were prepared by heating the hydrate precursors synthesized by the chemicalco-precipitation reaction of ZrOCl_2 and SnCl_4. The precursors were examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The composite powder was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmissionelectron microscopy (TEM) and desorption isotherm (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda method). The average crystal size of thenanoparticle ranges from 15 to 30 nm for the sample containing 5%-25% ZrO_2 (mass fraction). Most of the pores in theZrO_2-SnO_2 nanoparticles are about 10-20 nm in diameter. The composite powder is promising for chemical sensors.

The composite powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and desorption isotherm (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda method). The average crystal size of thenanoparticle ranges from 15 to 30 nm for the sample containing 5% -25% ZrO 2 mass fraction. Most of the pores in the ZrO 2 -SnO 2 nanoparticles are about 10-20 nm in diameter. The composite powder is promising for chemical sensors.
