    This review focused on the synthesis methods of tin oxide (SnOâ‚‚) nanoparticles as a photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and how it impacts the performance. There are many different techniques and various nanoparticles were produced and usually characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine crystalline structure of SnOâ‚‚, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine the surface morphology and size details and J-V solar simulator to verify current-voltage characteristics. In summary, considering all the methods reviewed, sol-gel is reported as the best method to produce SnOâ‚‚ nanoparticles for DSSC fabrication with the highest efficiency recorded of 3.96%.
