ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)

Posted by Chia-yu Chen on

Indium tin oxide coated glass is the most popular substrate for Transparent and Conductive Oxide (TCO) substrates. ITO is widely used in electrodes for photovoltaic/solar cells, LCD display etc. ITO glass can be fabricated via physical vapor deposition such as sputter coating or via liquid phase deposition e.g., spin coating and dip coating.  MSE Supplies offers various ITO products including ITO sputtering target for sputter coating and ITO nano powder for emulsions used in liquid phase deposition. MSE Supplies also offers ITO coated glass/PET film with different resistance, size and customized ITO patterns. Many published papers have used MSE Supplies...

Chemical Vapor Deposition-Graphene Growth

Posted by Chia-yu Chen on

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is widely used in thin films fabrication on a heated substrate through chemical reactions. The deposition steps for CVD can be summarized into the following steps: Gas species transport to the substrate surface Gas species absorption into the surface Reaction occur and deposits products By-product and unreacted species desorbed (Sun et al. 2021) Chemical vapor deposition can better control deposition rate compared to physical vapor deposition, which can provide high quality and uniform film. Using CVD to growing 2D materials such as graphene has been a popular method since it can produce high quality graphene. MSE...

Current Collectors for Lithium-ion Batteries

Posted by Chia-yu Chen on

A typical lithium-ion battery consists of two current collectors, an anode, a cathode, a separator and electrolyte. Current collectors work as a support for electrode materials. They are also electrical conductors between electrode and external circuits. For lithium-ion battery, various current collectors are used such as Al, Cu, Ni, Ti, and stainless steel. Within the above materials, Al and Cu are the most commonly used materials as current collectors. Al is used for a cathode current collector and Cu is used as an anode current collector. Al and Cu current collectors can further be categorized into foil, meshed, foam and...
