“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] More recently, nanoparticles (NPs) made of ITO have been investigated as emerging materials for catalyst support in fuel cell applications due to high conductivity of indium oxide as well as its stable durability in acid at oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) relevant potentials. [8] In addition, the serious problems involved in reducing the Pt utilization such as carbon corrosion of the support substrate, [9] Pt sintering, [10] Pt dissolution [11] are also overcome by reason of combining Pt nanoparticles with the SnO 2 .…”

“…Tin Doped Indium Oxide (ITO) is one of the potential metal oxide supports for Pt at cathode side of PEMFC [16]. ITO thin film came into widespread commercial use in the areas of liquid crystal displays, optoelectronic devices, heat reflecting mirrors, and sensors on account of its remarkable characteristics such as high electrical conductivity and high transparency under visible light [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. However, the ITO powder was used as support catalyst for Pt in PEMFCs that is quite novel subject.…”

Tin-doped Indium Oxide (ITO) has been successfully prepared via solvothermal method with a mixture of Indium(III) acetylacetonate and Tin(IV) bis(acetylacetonate)dichloride in oleyamine solvent under the condition of the different reaction time from 12 h to 48 h for the first time. The morphology, phase composition and particle size of the ITO powder were characterized by TEM and XRD. Two significant properties required for ITO samples to become noncarbon support for Pt in PEMFCs including specific surface area and electrical conductivity were studied.

Closed space sublimation (CSS) technique was used to deposit pure (99.99%) zinc selenide(ZnSe) powder on to glass substrates for fabricating the ZnSe thin films. The temperatures of source, substrate and the deposition time were optimized to deposit thin films of different thicknesses. Silver (Ag) was used as a dopant by ion exchange process in the ZnSe thin films. The structural analysis showed that as-deposited ZnSe thin films were polycrystalline having preferred orientation [111] direction. Micro structural parameters such as crystallite size, lattice parameter were determined using X-rays diffraction (XRD). Grains boundaries, roughness on surface and the grain density of the thin film samples were measured by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy before and after Ag doping.As-deposited, Ag-doped ZnSe samples before and after annealing were optically characterized by spectrophotometer in ultra violet, visible and infrared regions. The energy band gap of as-deposited ZnSe thin films for varying thicknesses were ranging from 2.62-2.67 eV which was reduced after Ag doping.The electrical properties showed that as-deposited thin films were highly resistive of the order of 10 -cm and after Ag immersion, it was reduced to 1 -cm. Deposition parameters and Ag doping 8 influenced the structural, surface, optical and electrical properties.
