New Materials for Touch Screens: Strontium Vanadate as a Replace for ITO

- dpflan 11y ago"Currently indium costs around $750 per kilogram, whereas strontium vanadate and calcium vanadate are made from elements with orders of magnitude higher abundance in the earth's crust. Vanadium sells for around $25 a kilogram, less than 5 percent of the cost of indium, while strontium is even cheaper than vanadium." Dramatic reduction, but how easy is to transfer a lab material to an industrial process? Also, here is the Nature Materials article: http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmat4493.html http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmat44...
