Abstract:

Three-dimensional ordered In2O3 nanowire arrays were synthesized using SBA-15 silica as hard template with replication technology, and then the two In2O3 samples with different particle sizes were separated with centrifugal separation technology. The crystal structure, grain size, morphology and bandgap of both samples were characterized by means of XRD, SEM and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Both In2O3 samples present three-dimensional nanowire array structures, which are orderly assembled with the spherical In2O3 particles with grain size of 12 nm. The diameter and interwire distance of In2O3 nanowires is about 12 nm and 2 nm, respectively, while the bandgap of In2O3 nanowires with the larger particle size is slightly larger than that with the smaller particle size. The sensitivity of In2O3 nanowires with the larger particlesize reaches up to 50. 6 to the ethanol gas with volume ratios of 100×10-6 in air at 320 ℃, which is higher than that with the smaller particle size. Finally, the gas-sensing performance of In2O3 nanowires with the larger particle is obviously better than those of the similar nanoparticles and mesoporous nanostructures, indicating that the order degree of In2O3 nanowire greatly affects the gas-sensing properties of nanostructures.
