Modification of a transparent conductive ITO coating with shungite nanoparticles

The spectral, electrical, and mechanical properties of an ITO coating modified with shungite nanoparticles were studied in order to determine the potential applicability of such coatings in electronics as transparent conductive coating slayers. Shungite was deposited on the surface of the conductive layer using a non-contact laser method by varying the electric field strength from 100 to 600 V/cm. According to the results of the stuobtaineddy, the structuring modification of ITO coatings with shungite nanoparticles leads to a significant increase in both surface hardness and resistance, as well as to a shift in the transmission spectrum in the visible range towards longer wavelengths and an increase in transmission in the IR range.
