Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the best transparent "conductor". It also has a lower deposition temperature compared to its competitors and higher plasma frequency (plasma wavelength is at the edge of visible spectrum ~700 nm), that is to mean that ITO reflects infrared light better than its competitors. read more

Alternatives which are getting some traction include silver nanowires, carbon nanotubes, graphene and conducting polymers. The original transparent electrode. Traditionally, the most commonly used transparent conducting materials are doped metal oxides. Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been the market leader in this field for decades. read more
Some ingredients of ITO, indium and tin, are metals, but the coating is a semiconductor. #2: Indium prices do rise … and fall. Indium is a commodity and is traded in public markets. read more
