Abstract

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies have been carried out on lattice oxygen vacancies produced by the interaction of carbon monoxide with SnO2 obtained by sol–gel type condensation. Under a 0.5% CO–argon reducing atmosphere the vacancies can transfer electrons to Sn4+ producing Sn2+ centres. In air the lattice defects interact with molecular oxygen in a manner which depends on whether the gas reducing treatment was performed under dry or moist conditions. Defects that undergo oxygen interaction at the SnO2 surface, reduce O2 to O2- or O2- , depending on the temperature of the reaction with oxygen.
