Electrical, optical and morphological properties of nanoparticle indium–tin–oxide layers

Fabrication, charge carrier transport, and application of printable nanocomposites based on indium tin oxide nanoparticles and conducting polymer 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene/polystyrene sulfonic acid

“…20,[29][30][31] High porosity is one of the reasons why nanoparticulate coatings are not yet competitive with their sputtered counterparts, at least with regard to the electrical performance, as conductivity strongly depends on the interparticle contact. As we have shown in previous studies, [21][22][23] filling up the pores with additives causes a significant improvement of electrical, optical, and/or mechanical film properties due to improved network formation.…”

“…However, for such nanoparticulate coatings, the conductivity typically increases with increasing annealing temperatures due to enhancement of effective mobility as consequence of sintering neck formation and grain growth. 20 One very promising approach is to form hybrid nanocomposites consisting of nanoparticles and organic additives. A suitable organic component can positively affect the film formation and improve the electrical, optical, or mechanical layer properties even at process temperatures as low as 130 C. Some successful results using ITO nanoparticles in combination with polyvinyl derivatives, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyvinyl butyral, or by the use of the organofunctional silane 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane were shown recently.…”

<i>Conocarpus erectus</i> Leaf Extract for Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles

“…The challenge in green chemistry synthesis is the development of ecological and friendly methods to produce the nanomaterials. The nanomaterials are used in various and wide applications like biology and biomedical applications, catalytic applications, material science, electronics, physics and environmental remediation fields [2][3]. Another challenge is toxicity and lifetime, where toxicity is depending on the nature of nanoparticle and structure, size, shape, composition and surface chemistry [4].…”

Improvement of the electrochromic response of a low-temperature sintered dye-modified porous electrode using low-resistivity indium tin oxide nanoparticles

“…Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a well-known and common transparent conductive oxide (TCO) with high electrical conductivity, and ITO nanoparticle-based porous films can be sintered at temperatures below the maximum working temperature of typical plastic substrates without losing their electrical conductivity. 12 Therefore, ITO porous films are potential porous electrodes for use in flexible ECDs. Although detailed knowledge of the EC characteristics of EC dye-modified ITO porous electrodes is necessary to investigate the applicability of ITO porous films in this context, no such studies have been reported to date.…”
