The precipitation conditions of Na2SnO3 solution and the reduction conditions of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ were also investigated. The powders prepared were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that pH value of the solution is a key parameter in the formation of Sn(OH)_4 precipitate and the reduction reaction of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ can release H+ ions, which results in synchronous precipitation of Sn(OH)_6~2- as Sn(OH)_4. The reduction of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ and precipitation of Na_2SnO_3 occur simultaneously and the coprecipitation of silver and tin oxide is reached by the hydrothermal method. The silver-tin oxide composite powders have mainly flake shape of about 0.3 μm in thickness and there exists homogeneous distribution of tin oxide and silver in the powder synthesized.展开更多
