Coating glass rods with indium-tin oxide

2000

I am interested in coating glass rods with indium-tin oxide in order to eventually have an impedance of about 1 Megohm/meter for application in electron spectroscopy.

Any hints for technical procedures or alternatives in terms of powder to be used is welcome.

With kind regards

The method you could use is called spray pyrolysis. It is a relatively simple method that uses a small spray booth and a hot solution. There are several expired patents from 1960s onward related to solar cells and window glass that will help for details.
