Abstract
Indium oxide nanocrystals with mesoporous structure were successfully synthesized by using triblock copolymer as a template, and characterized by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and N2 adsorption. A high EO/PO ratio is thought to be the key point to prepare mesoporous In2O3. The results show that the average pore diameter of the products is 6 nm, the BET surface area is 54.78 m2/g, and the adsorbing pore volume is 0.345 cm3/g. After comparing with normal indium oxide nanoparticles by BET test, mesoporous indium oxide demonstrates a large difference in adsorbing pore volume and average pore diameters from normal ones.
