Popis: Phase transformation studies in ZnO–SnO2 system from zinc metastannate (ZnSnO3) to zinc orthostannate (Zn2SnO4) with annealing temperature are reported. Non-centrosymmetric oxides show unique symmetry dependent and spontaneous polarization properties, which are technologically important. ZnSnO3 particles were synthesized by a simple aqueous synthesis at low temperatures designed with the assistance of potential–pH diagrams. ZnSnO3 particles synthesized at 4 °C are more porous losing the ilmenite structure upon annealing at 200 °C, while the other samples prepared at higher temperatures (25–65 °C) becomes amorphous at 300 °C. The phase transformation into the inverse spinel orthostannate phase occurs around 750 °C in all the samples.
