Abstract: SnO2 nanomicropheres were prepared via hydro-thermal method, then the structure and micromorphology were characterized by XRD and SEM. The photocatalytic degradation ability of microspheres was studied by ultraviolet absorption. The material was pure SnO2 nanomicrospheres with good crystallinity, uniform size, good dispersion, and strong photocatalytic degradation.

Keywords: Tin oxide, nanomicrosphere, photocatalysis
