The research demonstrates a method to synthesize size-controlled In2O3 nanocubes, indicating potential for nanomaterial applications.

The aim is to develop a method for synthesizing size-controlled In2O3 nanocubes using hydrolysis and thermolysis processes.
Hydrolysis of In(O-iPr)3 with excess water at 90°C in a surfactant mixture.
In situ thermolysis of In(O)(OH) nanoparticles at 350°C and ambient pressure.
Control of nanocube size (8, 10, and 12 nm) by varying surfactant amounts.
Nanoparticles of In(O)(OH) were synthesized, which then converted to h-In2O3 nanocubes through thermolysis.
Nanocubes exhibited blue photoluminescence (PL) emissions at room temperature.
Size control over the nanocubes was achieved by altering surfactant quantities.

Lee et al. (2006) studied this question.
