“…Firstly, ITO nanoparticles were prepared by a low temperature synthetic method. Detailed process is described in the previous paper [7]. The synthesized ITO nanoparticles were mixed with an alcohol based solvent including dispersing agents to formulate ITO inks.…”

“…Thus, reduction of In is extensively required, and direct printing of transparent electrode using ITO ink is receiving attention for increasing the material usage in fabrication process. Many researches are tried in order to achieve printed ITO thin films with lower electrical resistance and higher optical transmittance using ITO ink and, from the results [6,7], one of the important parameters is guessed as post heat-treatment conditions. Therefore, in this study, improvement of characteristics of printed ITO thin film was attempted by optimizing the post heat-treatment conditions.…”

“…A reduction of indium consumption is therefore an urgent requirement that could be achieved, for instance, by direct deposition and patterning of ITO on surfaces, avoiding the loss of material typically encountered in vacuum deposition processes. One approach to this is through the use of ITO nanoparticle inks or dispersions that may be screen or inkjet printed [7]. For example, ITO coatings have been prepared using direct gravure printing on polymer substrates such as polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) [8,9], where, in some studies, the concentration of the ITO dispersions was greater than 50 wt% [9].…”

Aqueous dispersions of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanopowder were prepared and the effect of the addition of PEG 400, Tween 80 and β-alanine as dispersants was investigated using zeta potential and particle size distribution measurements. Both PEG 400 and β-alanine were found to produce stable dispersions that were used to deposit ITO thin films on glass substrates by dip and spin coating methods. The ITO thin films were heat-treated using both conventional and microwave heat treatment in order to improve the inter-particle connections and hence the resistivity and transparency of the films. All the films exhibited an average transmittance of >80% over the visible spectrum after being subjected to the heat treatment process. ITO films prepared with no dispersant showed very high resistivity values for both heating methods, however addition of 2 wt% PEG 400 to the dispersion yielded a reduction in the resistivity values to 1.4 × 10 -1 Ω cm and 3.8 × 10 -2 Ω cm for conventionally and microwave treated films, respectively. The surface morphological studies confirmed that addition of dispersants improved the film uniformity and inter-particle connections of the ITO films considerably.

“…Плівки на основі суміші оксидів індію-стануму (ІТО), є новим і перспективним матеріалом. Головною особливістю таких плівок є висока електропровідність і прозорість у видимому діапазоні довжин хвиль [10,11]. Можна очікувати, що ІТО електроди матимуть спорідненість до оксидних матеріалів.…”

Nanostructured transition metal oxide nanoparticles possess a catalytic activity to hydrogen peroxide. Manganese dioxide particles are one of the promising and available modificators of the electrode surface. Nanostructured MnO2 deposited onto the surface of the electrode enhances the electron transport from the H2O2 molecule to the surface. Thus selectivity and sensitivity of H2O2 detection can be improved. There are a lot of different methods of the impregnation of manganese dioxide particles onto electrode surface. An electrophoretic deposition is one of the most simple and rapid. By adjusting the electrodeposition parameters, particles of different sizes or films can be obtained. A simple and novel hydrogen peroxide sensor based on layer-by-layer assembly of MnO2 nanoparticles and SiO2 film on the ITO electrode was developed. For this purpose MnO2 nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the surface of ITO electrode from MnSO4/CH3COOK solution. The electrochemical characteristics of the modified electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry.The presence of MnO2 on the surface of modified electrode was indicated by the appearance of clear oxidation-reduction peaks of Mn(IV)/Mn(III,II) at E=0.65 V in the electrolyte solution in contrast to unmodified electrode. Optimization of measurement parameters such as the amount of MnO2, applied potential and pH value were studied in details. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curve for H2O2 determination using modified electrode was linear in the range from 1×10−4 to 1×10−3 mol/dm3 with a detection limit of 0.09×10−4 mol/dm3 (S/N = 3). The linear rang for non-modified electrode was from 1×10−3 to 1×10−2 mol/dm3 with a detection limit of 1.8×10−4 mol/dm3 (S/N = 3). The modified ITO electrode was characterized by higher current than non modified ITO as a result of increasing of electroactive surface area and catalytic effect of electrodeposited MnO2.For the stabilization of MnO2 particles and protection of the electrode surface from impurities, the ITO/MnO2 was covered by thin silica film. The selectivity of H2O2 determination at ITO modified with MnO2/SiO2 was better than at ITO especially in the presence of ascorbic acid which is oxidized at the same potential as H2O2. The oxidation current of ascorbic acid was much higher than H2O2 at nonmodified ITO in contrast to ITO modified with MnO2/SiO2. The developed ITO electrode modified with MnO2/SiO2 is a perspective element of amperometric sensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide.
