Stannous oxide (SnO) is an important functional material which contributes to a wide range of applications. In present study, the SnO nanoparticles were synthesized using different solvents by chemical co-precipitation method. Different morphologies of SnO nanoparticles have been obtained by different solvents. The size of SnO nanoparticles was estimated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern and revealed that SnO crystallizes into tetragonal rutile phase. The chemical structural information of the synthesized nanoparticles was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The prominent UV emission peak was observed at 358 nm in the luminance spectra, studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The composition of the product SnO nanoparticles could be determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the binding energies of O 1s and Sn 3d3/2 have been found which are centered at 530 and 495 eV, respectively.
