Accurate control of stoichiometry and doping in barium stannate perovskite oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

Barium stannate (BaSnO3) is one of the most promising emerging materials for use as a transparent electrode. However, to date, its synthesis has been proven to be highly irreproducible. In this communication, we present a detailed investigation of the reproducibility issues and provide a robust approach to synthesize BaSnO3 nanomaterials with controlled stoichiometry and doping.
