Production Method of Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO) Powder

1. Co-precipitation Method

Dissolve tin chloride (SnCl₄) and antimony chloride (SbCl₃) in water or an acid medium. Adjust pH with ammonia or sodium hydroxide to co-precipitate tin and antimony hydroxides. The precipitate is filtered, washed, dried, and calcined at 600–1000°C to form ATO powder.

2. Sol-gel Method

Prepare a homogeneous solution of tin and antimony alkoxides (e.g., tetrabutyltin, antimony triethoxide) in an organic solvent. Hydrolysis and condensation reactions form a gel, which is dried and calcined to obtain nanoscale ATO powder with high purity and uniform particle size.

3. Hydrothermal Synthesis

Mix tin and antimony salts with a mineralizer (e.g., NaOH) in a sealed autoclave. Under high temperature (150–250°C) and pressure, hydrothermal reactions directly synthesize crystalline ATO powder with controlled morphology and doping levels.

4. Spray Pyrolysis

Atomize a solution of tin and antimony nitrates into fine droplets. The droplets are rapidly heated in a furnace, causing solvent evaporation, decomposition, and oxidation to form ATO particles. This method allows scalable production with adjustable particle size.

5. Solid-state Reaction

Mechanically mix tin oxide (SnO₂) and antimony oxide (Sb₂O₃) powders, followed by high-temperature sintering (1000–1200°C) to form ATO via solid-state diffusion. Post-milling may be required to reduce particle size.

These methods vary in complexity, cost, and product quality, with hydrothermal and sol-gel approaches often yielding superior homogeneity and nanoscale properties.
