摘要

This study examines the impact of annealing temperature (300–700 °C) on SnO2 thin films spin-coated from stannous chloride. X-ray diffraction confirmed a polycrystalline, tetragonal structure, with optimal crystallinity at 500 °C. Optical absorbance peaked at 302 nm for films annealed at 500 °C, and the optical bandgap decreased to 3.65 eV as temperature increased. SEM revealed a shift from nanoflakes (300 °C) to nanoflowers (600 °C). Films annealed at 500 °C showed the highest conductivity (2–4 kΩ), while those at 400 °C had the poorest crystallinity and highest resistance (30–50 kΩ). The findings highlight 500 °C as optimal for SnO2 film properties.
