Indium tin oxide (ITO), an experimentally friendly transparent conducting oxide (TCO), has attracted great attention in the photoelectric field due to its intrinsically low resistivity and high transparency. In this work, the experimental conditions of preparing ITO nanoparticles using the microemulsion method were optimized by an orthogonal experiment. The optimal experimental conditions were obtained: mass ratio of the surfactant (AEO-3, MOA-5), a co-surfactant (n-propyl alcohol) of 5:3, molar ratio of indium and ammonia of 1:20, calcination temperature of 700 °C and calcination time of 4 h. Subsequently, the influence from process variables on the resistivity was researched systematically. The results demonstrated that the calcination temperature had a great effect on the resistivity; the resistivity reduced from 11.28 to 2.72 Ω·cm with the increase in the calcination temperature from 500 to 700 °C. Ultimately, ITO nanoparticles were prepared and systematically characterized under the optimal experimental conditions. The particles with a size of 60 nm were attributed to the cubic ITO crystal phase and showed low resistivity of 0.3675 Ω·cm. Significantly, ITO nanoparticles with low resistivity were obtained using the microemulsion method, which has potential application in the field of ITO nanoparticle preparation.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method using ammonia as a precipitator in absence/presence of various surfactants (LABS and Triton X-100). The synthesized nanoparticles were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, resistance measurement, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) techniques. The XRD patterns of nanoparticles were also studied by Rietveld refinement method for calculation of crystallite size, micro-strain and lattice parameter. The results indicate that by application of LABS and Triton X-100 as surfactant the particle size was increased. Two luminescence bands were observed in PL spectra of ITO nanoparticles with the excitation energy lower than their band gaps. It was found that the ratios of luminescence bands have relation with resistances and colors of ITO nanoparticles. In addition, the band structure of ITO nanoparticles was described considering the obtained results.

Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)(PVA)/In-Sn hydroxide (ITH) nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning, then followed by calcining at 400 , 475 , and 550 to obtain indium tin oxide (ITO) nanofibers. The influencing factors of solution properties, viscosity and electrical conductivity on the formation and morphology of electrospun fibers was investigated. The microstructure of PVA/ITH and ITO nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the crystalline structure of ITO nanocomposites was analyzed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results showed that the average diameter and variation coefficient of obtained PVA/ITH nanofibers decreased after the adding of ITH. The ITO nanofibers became thinner and more uneven with the increasing of calcined temperature. XRD patterns proved that ITO nanoparticles existed after calcined and showed the structure was strongly depended on the calcined temperature. The bixbyite and the corundum type could be fabricated according the calcined temperature.
