Transparent and conducting Zn-Sn-O thin films prepared by combinatorial approach

Influences of film thickness and annealing temperature on properties of sol–gel derived ZnO–SnO 2 nanocomposite thin film

“…Therefore, ZnO-based oxide semiconductors have been regarded as highly promising candidates to replace typical Si-based materials in display devices. In order to improve the characteristics of ZnO thin films, researchers have focused on multicomponent oxide systems composed of heavy-metal cations in an effort to fabricate novel active materials, such as In-Zn-O (IZO) [5,6], In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) [7][8][9], and Zn-Sn-O (ZTO) [10,11]. Among them, IGZO has been intensively studied as a high-performance TOS material owing to excellent electrical properties in comparison with other materials.…”

Structural, compositional and electrical properties of co-precipitated zinc stannate

“…Both cation disorder and stoichiometry have an influence on properties and they can also influence on each other. Zn 2 SnO 4 has a wide range of applications including the transparent electrode [5], anode including Li-ion batteries [6], photocatalyst [7], and gas sensor [8]. However, the coexistence of SnO 2 and Zn 2 SnO 4 would be found easily, even at a relatively lower reaction temperature or the lower reaction rate [9][10][11].…”

Combinatorial development of polymer nanocomposites using transient processing conditions in twin screw extrusion

“…Ko et al 9 combinatorially sputtered Zn-Sn-O films with continuous CGs from 16 at.% Sn to 89 at.% Sn for rapidly establishing the structure-property relationships. Gilman et al [10][11][12] produced extruded composites of polyamide-6 or polystyrene and purified organoclay filler with specific emphasis on the combinatorial nature of the CGs.…”
