Abstract

Nanocrystalline ITO powders have been prepared by a hydroxide coprecipitation method. Through the variation of aging time after precipitation, we have characterized the size, morphology and the structure of the precipitates. It was found that the precipitates are in the state of InOOH at first. Further aging up to 48 h changed it to In(OH)3 structure. After calcinations of the precipitates, rhombohedral nanocrystalline ITO powder with spherical shape was produced from InOOH structured precipitates, while cubic nanocrystalline ITO powder was produced from In(OH)3. Fraction of the rhombohedral ITO powder decreased as the aging time increased. The particle size of the cubic ITO increased with aging time but that of rhombohedral ITO (∼15 nm) was almost invariant.
