In2O3 nanostructures and their chemical and biosensor applications

Abstract EN

Metal oxide nanostructures are of increasing interest in both fundamental and applied sciences, and among them In2O3 is one of the capable semiconductor materials.

This review provides details of research carried out so far for the synthesis and characterization of In2O3 nanostructures.

In this review, various techniques have been investigated for the fabrication of diverse and fascinating shapes of In2O3 nanostructures, for instance, nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nan pushpins, nan needles, nan towers, nan pencils, etc.

The detailed structural analysis of In2O3 nanostructures has been discussed, which gives an alternative way to understand or predict the potential physicochemical properties of metal oxide nanostructures.

This article also gives a profound insight and an up-to date review of high-quality 1-D In2O3 nanostructures as chemical sensors and biosensors.

The impact of highly sensitive and fast responding gas sensors using In2O3 nanostructures is also discussed.
