Abstract

Hollow InSn/In2O3 hybrid nanoparticles were fabricated via stirring InSn alloy in polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG 400) solution containing P123 at 180°C. The hollow hybrid nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS and other techniques. The hybrid nanoparticles have an average particle diameter of 20 nm, and they have a core. XRD studies show the presence of an equilibrium phase In3Sn and InSn4. XPS results indicate that the surface layer of the shell is mainly composed of indium oxides. Based on the time-dependent experiments, the evolution behavior of alloy droplets is proposed to explain the formation mechanism. The hollow nanoparticles display stronger UV emission than that of In2O3 nanoparticles.
