Stannous chloride dehydrate, hydrofluoric acid, and different fuels of glycine, urea, and citric acid were used to synthesize FTO nano powder, followed by calcination at 600 ˇăC. The results showed that us-ing citric acid as a fuel gives homogenous FTO nano powder with average particle size of 40 nm and round morphology. %K Nanoparticles synthesis %K Nanoparticles study %K Controlled properties %K Producing processes %K Complex structure %U http://nap.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/nap/nap2012/paper/view/640
