“…The zeta potential of the ITO nanoparticles in the dispersions was measured and is presented in Table 1. For all of the dispersions prepared, the ITO particles acquired a positive charge of over 35 mV; these values are similar to those published in the study by Reindl, et al [20], where the zeta potential of an ITO dispersion at a pH of ~5.7 was found to be ~25 mV. The addition of non-ionic and Zwitterion dispersants did not affect the magnitude of the zeta potential of the ITO dispersions and this value was approximately constant (~40 mV) for all of the dispersions.…”

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.

“…These parameters were determined and optimized in previous investigations, which have been described in detail elsewhere. 27 The resulting ITO dispersions have a solid content of 20 wt. % and an average aggregate size of approximately 80 nm, which was determined by dynamic light scattering.…”

“…33,34 Commercial ITO dispersions commonly consist of nanoparticles which are electrosterically stabilized with longchain acids, such as 3,6,9-trioxadecanoic acid. 27,35 They are stabilized within the acidic pH range and show a positive fpotential, which leads to coagulation of ITO and PEDOT particles. The objective pursued was the preparation of an ITO dispersion with a f-potential similar to that of PEDOT.…”

The stabilizing effect of this dispersing agent has already been published in the past [6,31]; the amount of dispersing agent was set to 3 wt% with respect to the solid content. Yttrium-stabilized milling balls (YTZ Grinding Media, Nikkato Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) of 0.5, 1, 3, and 10 mm diameter were added and the mixture was dispersed for 24 h in a tumbling mixer (Turbula, Willy A.

This paper presents the manufacture of ultrathin (\1 lm) transparent conductive indium tin oxide (ITO) films based on nanoparticulate ITO slurries by the profile rod technique using the binder polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as an organic additive. The influence of the slurry composition on the film thickness and the specific electrical resistance as well as the transmission of the dried films is evaluated. The organic solvent ethanol and different types of the PVP binder were tested for slurry preparation and layer performance. ITO green films with low specific electrical resistance of 3 X cm, 87 % inline transmission, and layer thicknesses of only 250 nm could be manufactured. Furthermore, the influence of heat treatments up to 400°C on the electrical properties of the ITO films was evaluated.
