Synthesis, characterization and gas sensing properties of porous flower-like indium oxide nanostructures

Abstract

In this work, flower-like In2O3 nanostructures were prepared with a solvothermal method in the presence of K3C6H5O7·H2O. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicate that the synthesized flower-like In2O3 nanostructures were constructed by porous nanosheets. The gas sensing properties of the as-obtained products were investigated. It was found that the sensor based on such flower-like In2O3 nanostructures exhibited high response and good selectivity to NO2.
