Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are electrical conductive materials with comparably low absorption of electromagnetic waves within the visible region of the spectrum. They are usually prepared with thin film technologies and used in opto-electrical apparatus such as solar cells, displays, opto-electrical interfaces and circuitries. Here, based on a modern database-system, aspects of up-to-date material selections and applications for transparent conducting oxides are sketched, and references for detailed information are given. As n-type TCOs are of special importance for thin film solar cell production, indium-tin oxide (ITO) and the reasonably priced aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al), are discussed with view on preparation, characterization and special occurrences. For completion, the recently frequently mentioned typical p-type delafossite TCOs are described as well, providing a variety of references, as a detailed discussion is not reasonable within an overview publication.
透明导电氧化物（TCOs）是一种导电材料，在光谱的可见光区域对电磁波的吸收相对较低。它们通常采用薄膜技术制备，并用于光电器件，如太阳能电池、显示器、光电接口和电路。在此，基于一个现代数据库系统，概述了透明导电氧化物最新的材料选择和应用方面，并给出了详细信息的参考文献。由于n型TCOs对薄膜太阳能电池的生产尤为重要，因此从制备、表征和特殊情况等方面讨论了氧化铟锡（ITO）和价格合理的铝掺杂氧化锌（ZnO:Al）。此外，还描述了最近经常被提及的典型p型铜铁矿TCOs，提供了各种参考文献，因为在一篇概述性文章中进行详细讨论不太合理。
