Controlled preparation of In2O3, InOOH and In(OH)3via a one-pot aqueous solvothermal route

Pure cubic In2O3, orthorhombic InOOH and cubic In(OH)3 nanocrystals were separately synthesized via a one-pot aqueous solvothermal route at low temperature by simply regulating the amount of water in the ternary system H2O–DMF–In(NO3)3·4.5H2O.
