“…Recently, the rapid growth of electronics and materials industries has increased substantially the demand on transparent and electroconductive fine particles (Yoshizumi, 1983). Among those particles, Sb/SnO 2 ultrafine particles have been widely applied to gas sensors (Vlachos et al, 1995), antistatic coatings (Yoshizumi and Wakabayashi, 1987), EMI shields (Nagano et al, 1994), displays (Endo et al, 1995), infrared reflectors (Kawasuchi and Muromachi, 1994), and solar cell electrodes (Olivi et al, 1993). Yoshizumi (1983) prepared Sb/SnO 2 particles by coprecipitation of SnCl 4 and SbCl 3 with water and made the conducting paint by mixing the particles with polyester resin.…”
