The aim of the study was to manufacture the SnO 2 one-dimensional nanostructures via the sol-gel technique and electrospinning methods from a solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), tin chloride pentahydrate (SnCl 4 -5H 2 O), N , N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and ethanol (EtOH). The as obtained fibrous mats consisting of polymer and precursors particles were subjected to the heat treatment in air in the following temperatures 500, 600 °C to obtain pristine tin oxide nanowires. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the morphology and structure of produced 1D SnO 2 . The energy dispersive spectrometry (EDX) and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were performed to investigate the chemical composition and structure of manufactured nanomaterials, respectively.
