Influence of pH of colloidal suspension on the electrical conductivity of SnO2 thin films deposited via Sol-Gel-Dip-Coating

Tin dioxide (SnO2) thin films are deposited by the dip-coating technique from colloidal suspensions prepared with distinct pH through the sol-gel method. The decrease of the pH contributes to the destruction of an electrical layer adjacent to particles in solution, leading to a high degree of aggreg...
