The effects of sodium chloride addition on the ITO phase and mor- phology were investigated using differential scanning cal- orimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that sodium chloride addition helps the formation of cubic structure of ITO nanoparticles. The particle size of the resulted ITO powder is about 3 nm.展开更多
