Abstract
Solid solutions in In2O3–MeO2 (Me = Zr, Sn, Ti) systems based on indium oxide are synthesized by the coprecipitation method. It is found that the ultrasound treatment of the coprecipitation products reduces the degree of agglomeration of the initial particles by a factor of 3 and initiates the crystallization process of the precipitates. Nanocrystal (5–8 nm) precursor powders are obtained at 400°C. The optimal regime for sintering powders based on In2O3 to form a ceramic with a dense microstructure is chosen. The influence of the temperature, alloying additives, and the partial pressure of oxygen on the specific conductivity of indium oxide solid solutions is studied.
