Thermal behaviour of romarchite phase SnO in different atmospheres: a hypothesis about the phase transformation

A study was conducted on the transformation of SnO to SnO2 using X-ray diffraction and subjecting the SnO to heat treatments between 300 °C < T < 600 °C in two different atmospheres, argon and air. The intermediary oxide that appears in the disproportionation process was identified as Sn2O3. I...
