Formation and Characterization of Indium Hydroxide Films

Aqueous Deposition of Ultraviolet Luminescent Columnar Tin‐Doped Indium Hydroxide Films

“…[13] According to their study, the carriers of conduction in In(OH) 3 Á xH 2 O films are protons freed from structural waters, which is in agreement with our transmission spectrum study. In the ITO films, it is generally believed that carriers (electrons) are derived from the intrinsic oxygen vacancies and the extrinsic substituting Sn according to: [45] …”

“…In(OH) 3 is a wide band semiconductor with higher band gap energy (>5 eV) [12] and moderate conductivity (10 À6 S cm À1 ) [13] relative to those of In 2 O 3 . It also shows superior properties such as catalysis, [14] photocatalysis [15] and so on.…”

“…[19,20] However, only few studies on the preparations of In(OH) 3 films have been reported. [13,16] Recently we reported on the aqueous deposition of indium hydroxide films on selfassembled monolayers (SAMs) and the transformation into In 2 O 3 films by heating. [18] This method thus could open new pathways to the fabrication of ITO films by in-situ Sn-doping.…”

Urea-based hydrothermal growth, optical and photocatalytic properties of single-crystalline In(OH)3 nanocubes

“…In(OH) 3 , an important wide-gap semiconductor material with a direct band gap of 5.15 eV, has been intensively studied because of its semiconductor and optical properties [8][9][10][11]. Recently, we found that In(OH) 3 is a more excellent photocatalyst for removal of benzene under 254 nm UV light irradiation compared to P25 * Corresponding authors.…”

Controllable growth of In(OH)3 nanorods with rod-in-rod structure in a surfactant solution

“…Ishida and Kuwabara [1] reported that conductivity of In(OH) 3 thin films varied with the experimental conditions in the range of 10 À7 -10 À3 S/cm 2 , which is typical for wide band gap semiconductor. Gedanken and co-workers [2] estimated the optical band gap, E g , was 5.15 eV from the diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) spectra and the Kubelka-Munk (K-M) spectra of some needle-like nanoparticles of indium hydroxide.…”
