![]()  | 
Abstract:
Water and nano-sized particles isolated from trees, plants and algae are the ingredients of a new recipe for low-cost metal oxides that are widely used in displays, smart windows, magnetic memories and coatings. 
This innovation by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers Soydan Ozcan and Yuan Lu could replace the conventional method for fabricating metal oxide particles and films, saving many steps, cutting costs and eliminating harsh chemicals and toxins. "Our metal oxide nanomaterials represent a transformational advance with unprecedented low manufacturing costs and the ability to adjust morphology for specific applications," Lu said. The researchers envision their technology having a significant impact on the $4.1 billion transparent conductive layer - glass and film - market.
