Processing of Transparent Conducting Coatings Made With Redispersible Crystalline Nanoparticles

Abstract

The present paper describes recent developments in the employment of ITO (In2O3:Sn) nanoparticles for the preparation of transparent conducting coatings and discusses capabilities and limits of this approach, especially for applications in display and smart window technology. Meanwhile, redispersible nanoparticles of ITO, which shows the best electrical properties among the transparent coating oxides (TCOs), can be produced reproducibly on an industrial scale and various products are on the market.
