title: Single-step preparation of indium tin oxide nanocrystals dispersed in ionic liquids via oxidation of molten In-Sn alloys.
abstract: Oxidation of molten In-Sn alloys was carried out in ionic liquids by heat treatment with vigorous stirring, resulting in the formation of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocrystals. The ITO nanocrystals exhibited a plasmon peak, the peak wavelength of which was blue-shifted with an increase in the Sn fraction in ITO.
