Metallic nanorods/nanowires have recently become the focus of intensive research due to their unique properties and have been used to fabricate electronic, energy devices and sensors in nanoscale. In this study, tin nanorods were synthesized through a surfactant assisted chemical reduction method in aqueous solutions at low temperature (~ 0 oC). Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) were used as the surfactant and reductant, respectively. Parameters such as pH, surfactant concentration, and temperature were studied to control the diameter and length of the nanorods formed. The structure, composition and surface morphology of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the morphology as well as the aspect ratio of tin nanorods could be effectively controlled by adjusting the parameters of the synthesis process. It was found that tin nanoparticles were formed at 30 oC while nanorods appeared at lower temperatures (0, 5 oC). A low SDS concentration of 4 mM helped to form Sn nanoparticles but higher SDS concentrations of 8, 12 mM facilitated the growth of nanorods. The increase of SDS concentration reduced the length of nanorods. pH values less than 4.5 were found to be favorable to the formation of nanorods.
