Abstract :The ZOTO binary system contains different compositions of zinc oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ZnO); and tin oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SnO2);. These are important semiconductors and have been intensively explored for various applications. SnO2, ZnO, and different mole ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(70:30, 40:60, 30:70, and 20:80 SnO2:ZnO); of the ZOTO system were prepared through proper thermal treatment in powder form. The comparative solid-state stability was investigated using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TG-DTA);. The stability study showed that the SnO2 material absorbs much lower heat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ea = -72.06 kJ/g mol); compared with ZnO and their compositions. Thus the SnO2 material shows stability at near room temperature operation. The crystallite size of the materials was estimated using XRD analysis.
