A facile, in-situ deposition route to stable iridium oxide (IrO(x)·nH(2)O) nanoparticle thin films from [Ir(OH)(6)](2-) solutions is reported. The [Ir(OH)(6)](2-) solution, made by alkaline hydrolysis of [IrCl(6)](2-), is colorless and stable near neutral pH, and forms blue IrO(x)·nH(2)O nanoparticle suspensions
