Abstract: The success in synthesizing high purity SnO2 nanobelts via self-propagating high temperature synthesis was achieved. According to the experimental results, a relationship between the residual heat of the reaction system at 2848 K and SnO2 nanobelts yield was identified. The most appropriate formula for this self-propagating high temperature synthesis method is turned out to be composed of Sn powder and thermite with weight ratio of 1:1.
