Electrochemical characteristics of indium tin oxide nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel combustion hybrid method

Abstract

Indium tin oxide (In:SnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized employing a sol-gel combustion method followed by annealing. The TG, XRD, XPS and SEM results of the precursor powders and calcinated In:SnO 2 nanoparticles were investigated. Crystal structures were examined by powder XRD, and those results show shaper intensity peak at 25.6° (2θ) of SnO 2 by increased annealing temperature. A particle morphology and size was examined by SEM, and the size of the nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 20-30nm. In:SnO 2 films could controlled by nanoparticle material at various annealing temperature. The sol-gel combustion method was offered simple and effective route for the synthesis of In:SnO 2 nanoparticles.
