Films and nanorods of transparent conducting oxide ITO by a citric acid sol route

We report the synthesis of nanorods of Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) through sol electrophoresis with a template. A citric acid-based sol was developed for the formation. This technique enables the synthesis of ITO nanorods with controlled size and Sn-doping concentration. The nanorods synthesized have diame...

Summary:We report the synthesis of nanorods of Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) through sol electrophoresis with a template. A citric acid-based sol was developed for the formation. This technique enables the synthesis of ITO nanorods with controlled size and Sn-doping concentration. The nanorods synthesized have diameters of {/content/JT63NFM49UJHQ36R/xxlarge8764.gif}75--145 nm and show a bulk resistivity of {/content/JT63NFM49UJHQ36R/xxlarge8764.gif}5 {/content/JT63NFM49UJHQ36R/xxlarge937.gif}{/content/JT63NFM49UJHQ3 6 R/xxlarge8201.gif}cm.
