Abstract
Cd2SnO4 powder has been synthesized through acrylamide sol-gel route f or the first time. The gelation-calcination steps have been studied. M orphological examination of the network matrix and the calcined produc ts has been done through SEM. XRD shows the orthorhombic structure of the Cd2SnO4 powder obtained. Arrhenius plots yield activation energies of 0.01 and 0.61 eV for the low and high slope regions, respectively. A semiconductor to metal transition is observed in the range 210-225 degrees C.
