Abstract:Synthesis of In 2 O 3 nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of γ -irradiated indium acetate in presence of benzyl alcohol has been studied. The interaction between indium acetate and benzyl alcohol led to formation of a white gel. Thermal decomposition of the gel gave In 2 O 3 nanoparticles. The results showed that the indium complex decomposes to In 2 O 3 via an intermediate compound. The characterization of the intermediate as well as final compound was carried out by thermogravimetry, Fourier-transform inf… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
