When Does a Stored SnO₂ Sol Stop Ageing?

Settling Times for Optical Gap, Crystallite Size, Hydrodynamic Diameter and Zeta Potential over 540 Days of Shelf Storage

A paper from the School of Settled Matters and the School of Underlying Conditions follows three batches of citrate-stabilised tin oxide sol through sixteen sampling days over 540 days of sealed storage, defining for each measured property the earliest day after which it holds within twice its own repeatability. The four properties settle in the same order in every batch, optical gap by day 84, crystallite size by day 140, hydrodynamic diameter by day 280 and zeta potential by day 365, and the values recorded when the batches were released stood ten to twenty-one repeatabilities from where they settled.
