A comparative study of dip coating and spray pyrolysis methods for synthesizing ITO nanolayers by using Ag colloidal sol

Heterostructured TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3/rGO Coating with Highly Efficient Visible-Light-Induced Self-Cleaning Properties for Metallic Artifacts

“…All specimens were coated in the TiO 2 @Si:Fe:rGO sol with the dip-coating method. Although spray coating could be more applicable in the field of cultural heritage preservation as well as building materials functionalization, dip coating was selected in this work in order to have a better control on the process, resulting an uniform thickness and morphology. − These properties could be adjusted with changing some parameters such as immersion/withdrawal speeds, angle, and number of dip coatings. − However, because the solution is watery, it could be easily applied with spray-coating technique as well.…”

Smart protection of surfaces during day-night by a novel composite self-cleaning coating with catalytic memory

“…To prepare suspensions of the powders, a 0.005 wt% solution of each sample in de-ionized water (20 mL) was prepared at ambient temperature. Then, the mixtures were dispersed by an ultrasonic bath for 30 min followed by adding SHMP stabilizer (5 wt%) and stirring for 24 h. Then, the titanium substrates ( 50 x 50 mm 2 ) were coated with the final sols by dip-coating method [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The dipping number was fixed to five, and the immersion and withdrawal rates were modulated at 200 and 100 mm/min, respectively.…”

Synthesis and characterization of indium tin oxide nanoparticles via reflux method

“…InCl 3¨4 H 2 O and SnCl 4 were dissolved in ethanol, keeping the ratio of In:Sn equal to 90:10. Then 5 mmol Triton X-100 was added to the solution and stirred for 30 min till transparent solution was obtained.…”

“…Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) have attracted attention for the past few years [1][2][3][4]. TCOs have been used widely in different industries, recently.…”

“…Indium tin oxide is an ntype semiconductor [7] with a wide direct band gap (3.5 eV to 4.3 eV) [8]. It is widely used as a transparent conducting electrode in various optoelectronic devices such as solar cells [9], liquid crystal displays [7], organic light emitting diodes [10] and other flat displays, also for fuel cells [11] and gas sensors to detect combustible gases such as CH 3 OH, NO 2 , CCl 4 , CO 2 and Cl´ [12][13][14][15]. ITO nanoparticles have been prepared by physical and chemical methods.…”
