Abstract
Supercritical carbon dioxide drying was successfully used to replace the conventional heat treatment in sol-gel process to produce xerogel precursors. It was also shown that highly crystalline sol-gel derived nano-sized powders of indium tin oxide could be directly produced by supercritical carbon dioxide drying without calcination. In addition, it was also found that ITO powders produced by calcining the xerogels prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide drying under lower temperature and lower pressure possessed with better crystallinity.
