We investigate the effect of controlled annealing on the structural and electronic phase evolution of Tin dioxide from Tin (II) oxyhydroxide prepared by simple precipitation method. Thermogravimetric analysis suggests a complex weight loss-gain process involved, passing through an intermediate phase of tin oxide nanoparticles. The probable structural and electronic phase evolution is discussed using detailed X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations.
