Disclosed herein is a water-based dispersion, which includes metal oxide nanoparticles and a zwitterionic stabilizer. More specifically, the dispersion comprises a metal oxide nanoparticle having the formula (1) MmM′On, wherein M is an alkali metal, m is greater than 0 and less than 1, M′ is any metal, and n is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 4; a zwitterionic stabilizer; and a balance of water. Also disclosed herein is a jettable composition, which includes metal oxide nanoparticles having the formula (1) MmM′On wherein M is an alkali metal, m is greater than 0 and less than 1, M′ is any metal, and n is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 4; a zwitterionic stabilizer; a surfactant; and a balance of water. |
