Abstract

In2O3 nanoribbons were produced directly from In metal foils by using a solvothermal approach. Presence of the excess OH-1 ions was crucial in the formation of the In2O3 nanoribbons, and increase in concentration of the OH-1 ions caused an increase in the density and length of the nanoribbons. The crystal structure and morphology of the products were investigated through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic studies. The growth mechanism of the In2O3 nanoribbons was quite similar to that of the high-temperature-based vapor-solid (VS) process.
