The production of indium-tin oxide has increased, owing to the increased manufacture of liquid-crystal panels. It has been reported that interstitial pneumonia occurred in two indium-processing workers; therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether interstitial pulmonary disorders were prevalent among indium workers. The study was carried out in 108 male workers in the indium plant whe...

A novel process of fabricating various oxide nanostructures on glass substrates is described. Transparent porous alumina films ( 6–150 nm) were first formed in acid solutions by anodization of aluminum layers sputter-deposited on a glass plate coated with a tin-doped indium oxide film. The porous alumina structures after pore-widened were then used as a host or a template in a sol–gel process t...

In this paper, we describe relationships between the morphologies and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of perovskite photovoltaics having a conventional p-i-n heterojunction structure, indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/CH(3)NH(3)PbI(3-x)Cl(x)/PC(61)BM/Al. The PCE of such a device is highly dependent on the morphology of the perovskit...

Large area, fullerene-free organic solar cells with improved stability and efficiency of up to 1% are fabricated by the roll-coating process on indium tin oxide free and flexible substrates, under ambient conditions.

The carrier mobility and film conductivity decreased...

OBJECTIVES Two- and 13-week inhalation toxicities of indium-tin oxide (ITO) and indium oxide (IO) were characterized for risk assessments of workers exposed to ITO. METHODS F344 rats of both sexes were exposed by inhalation to ITO or IO aerosol for 6 h/day, 5 day/wk for 2 wk at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 mg/m(3) or 13 wk at 0, 0.1 or 1 mg/m(3). An aerosol generator and inhalation exposure system wa...

The indium tin oxide scrap (ITOS) was mechanically activated by a stirring ball mill and subsequently studied for the leaching behavior and kinetics of extracting indium from ITOS in hydrochloric acid solution. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that MA caused the decrease in crystalline phase and increase in lattice distortion. The effects of reaction temperature and hydrochloric acid...
