Introduction
• Fluorine-doped tin dioxide (FTO), in which fluorine atoms replace the oxygen sites in the lattice creating free electrons to promote higher conductivity.
• The doped SnO2 , due to its wide band gap (3.67 eV), high optical transmittance in the visible range and good substrate adherence, has many potential applications such as
* gas sensors
* solar energy conversion
* infrared-reflecting glass
* antistatic coatings 4
Introduction
• FTO possesses extraordinary high temperature resistance, strong adhesion to glass and excellent chemical stability.
• Numerous techniques have been used to obtain fluorine doped SnO2 materials
* Spray pyrolysis method
* Chemical vapor deposition method (CVD)
* Sol–gel method
* Hydrothermal method

Conclusion
• FTO nanocrystals were successfully prepared by hydrothermal treatment.
• The grain size of as-synthesized SnO2 is calculated to be 9–13 nm through XRD and TEM patterns.
• XPS analysis confirms the presence of Sn atoms and F atoms.
• When F/Sn molar ratios is 2, the value of sheet resistance is minimum.
