i have sncl2 and ethanol and i do not have sncl4. is it enough to create a spraying solution for spray pyrolysis method by dissolving sncl2 in ethanol to create a transparent conductive oxide on a glass substrate?
I believe you have asked this question before and it has been answered:

yes, i did i ask a question which was relevant to the one that i asked now. i want to know if i can use sncl2 dissolved in ethanol as my spraying solution, that is what i actually would like to know.
Yes. You can use SnC2 in Water. It gets dissolved. But in water , it hydrolylyses. You can get milky solution. If you add, a few drops of HCl, it is going to clear. When use, SnC2, you get Sn2+ ions. If you are interested in Stannic, then you need to use, SnCl4.
SnCl2 gets hydrolysed in water. You will not get a clear solution. Once you add a few drops fo HCL, it turns into a clear solution. Sn2+ gets converted to Sn 4+. It is as good as starting with SnCl4. If SnCl2 gets completed dissolved in Ethanol, then the solution mostly contains Sn2+ ions and on pyrolysis , it gets converted to SnO/SnO2 based on susbtrate temperature. The resistivity would be high.
