- Silver metal mesh substrates formed with this technology have an equivalent or better level of electrical resistance to that achieved by transparent electrodes[6] made from indium
tin oxide (ITO) etched into a glass substrate.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on
tin oxide nanoparticles demonstrating the inhibition of QS-controlled functions with special reference to biofilm.
Matthew Large, lead researcher on the project at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex, said in a report by the Telegraph that "The reason that the screen on your phone is so easy to break is that the touch sensor is based on indium
tin oxide. This material is very brittle, so needs to be deposited on a strong, hard surface like glass."

tin oxide thin films have been prepared by various deposition techniques including dc magnetron sputtering [6], electron beam evaporation [7], reactive sputtering [4,8], sol-gel method [9,10] chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [11] and spray pyrolysis [12,13].
Since creating a Pt/Sn alloy is known to increase catalytic energy [19], it is assumed that Pt-Sn bonds exist on the interface between the Pt and
tin oxide, resulting in the formation of a Pt-Sn alloy.

Application in electronic and optoelectronic fields has found several TCO materials:
tin oxide (SnO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium oxide ([In.sub.2][O.sub.3]), aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and indium
tin oxide ([In.sub.2][O.sub.3]:Sn (ITO)).

tin oxide (ITO)/metal/ITO (IMI), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)/metal/AZO (ZMZ), fluorine-doped
tin oxide (FTO)/metal/FTO (FMF), and so forth as the most popular transparent conductive oxides (TCO)/metal/transparent conductive oxide TCO (TMT) have been widely studied [1-13].
Tin Oxide (Sn[O.sub.2]) is a n-type semiconductor with wide energy band gap (3.7 eV).
