Effect of fabrication conditions on the properties of indium tin oxide powders

This paper reports that indium tin oxide (ITO) crystalline powdersare prepared by coprecipitation method. Fabrication conditionsmainly as sintering temperature and Sn doping content are correlatedwith the phase, microstructure, infrared emissivity $varepsilon $and powder resistivity of indium tin oxides by means of x-raydiffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and transmission electronmicroscope. The optimum sintering temperature of 1350${^circ}$C andSn doping content 6$sim $8wt{%} are determined. The application ofITO in the military camouflage field is proposed.
