In Situ X-ray Diffraction Study of the Phase Transition of Nanocrystalline In(OH)3 to In2O3

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Single-crystalline indium oxide (In2O3) nanocubes were successfully prepared via dehydration of indium hydroxide (In(OH)3) nanocubes synthesized by a hydrothermal method. In situ x-ray diffraction patterns of the phase transition were obtained. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the morphology of the In2O3 nanocrystallites was the same as that of their precursors, In(OH)3 nanocrystallites. The reported method, the dehydration of In(OH)3 nanocrystallites prepared by a hydrothermal method, shows a simple and effective synthesis route for In2O3 nanostructured materials.
