A nanoparticle-mist deposition method: fabrication of high-performance ITO flexible thin films under atmospheric conditions

Abstract Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films with low resistivity and high transparency in the visible light region have been prepared on flexible plastic films by a deposition method using water mist containing ITO nanoparticles (NPs) under atmospheric conditions. The ITO NP-mist was generated by ult...
