The structural variations of the tin oxide nanoparticles were characterized by means of nitrogen physisorption carbon dioxide chemisorption X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The synthesized samples undoped and doped with the rare earths were used to promote the ethanol steam reforming reaction. The SnO2-based nanoparticles were shown to be active catalysts for the ethanol steam reforming. The surface properties such as surface area basicity base strength distribution and catalytic activity selectivity were influenced by the rare earth doping of SnO2 and also by the annealing temperatures. Doping led to chemical and micro-structural variations at the surface of the SnO2 particles. Changes in the catalytic H. V. Fajardo H E.
