Synthesis and characterization of In_2O_3 nanocube via a solvothermal-calcination route

摘要

In_2O_3 nanocubes have been generated by a two-step process, a simple solvothermal technique for In(OH)_3 nanocubes and subsequent reaction with O_2 to form the In_2O_3 nanocubes, which exhibit morphologies identical to the original In(OH)_3 nanocube. The In(OH)_3 nanocubes and the In_2O_3 nanocubes are well-crystallized single-crystal nanostructure. Under optimal conversion conditions, the final geometry features of In_2O_3 are predetermined by the size and morphology of the In(OH)_3 nanocubes. The size of In(OH)_3 nanocubes is effected by pH value of solution.
