Hydrothermal Synthesis of Indium Tin Oxide Nanoparticles without Chlorine Contamination

C. Key Words : Indium tin oxide, Synthesis, Nanoparticle, SinteringIntroductionIndium tin oxide (ITO) is the most widely used transparentconductive oxide (TCO) owing to its combination of highconductivity and high optical transparency in the visibleregion. Most of the transparent electrodes (e.g. in display,OLEDs, and solar cells) are made of ITO films. ITO alsoreflects infrared radiation and can be used as heat mirrors toreduce energy consumption.
