Martina Angermann and co-workers have developed an effective method for depositing highly conductive thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) from aqueous chemical solution deposition. The method is not only simple and inexpensive, but also uses only environmentally friendly solvents (water and acetic acid) and could offer great advantages for industrial applications. Conductive metal oxides...
