In tin oxide nanostructures, oxygen vacancies (OVs) usually determine optical properties and thus exact identification of both OV concentration and type is crucial to exploration of more applications. Currently, the 755–778 cm−1Raman mode is frequently observed and arbitrarily attributed to Eu(LO) or B2gmode. In this work, we examine the Raman spectra of SnO2nanocrystals prepared by laser ablation method and find that the Raman peak blueshifts from 755 to 778 cm−1with increasing annealing temperature in O2. Spectral analysis and density functional calculations disclose that crystal symmetry destruction by bridging OVs makes B2gmode (778 cm−1) redshift gradually and finally occupy Eu(LO) mode position (755 cm−1). Thus, it should not be assigned to Eu(LO) mode.
