Abstract: ATO nanoparticles were prepared from Sn(OH)4 nucleus grown uniformly with Sn(OH)4 and Sb(OH)3 by a complex method. The effects of reaction conditions such as doping concentrations, pH, temperature and complexing agent/Sb on the resistance were investigated by means of TG-DTA,XRD,TEM. The results show that ATO nanoparticles synthesized possess tetrahedral rutile structure with an average grain size near 10nm and excellent electrical properties. TEM photographs show that the particles are weakly agglomerated.
