Abstract: By using the anode oxidation method, porous alumina anode oxidation templates (AAo) with a pore diameter of 30~50nm were
prepared, and metal tin nanowires electrodeposited in the pores of AAO, then the AAO with tin nanowires annealed in muffle in air at 750℃
for 10h, and SnO2 nanowires formed. The effects of electrodeposition conditions, such as frequency, voltage, on the filling ratio of tin were also studied. SEM, TEM, XRD results show
that these polycrystalline SnO2 nanowires have a diameter of 30~50nm, voltage and frequency are the key factors affecting the electrodeposition results.

Key words: SnO2 nanowire, AAO, AC electrodepositon
