Nanocrystalline In2O3 gas sensing material was prepared by sintering a precursor In(OH)(3) at 600 degrees C which was hydrothermally synthesized at 250 degrees C for 24 h by using InCl(3)(.)4H(2)O as a starting material. The nanopowder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The results indicated that the precursor of indium oxide was cubic indium hydroxide with range size of 50-80 nm, and indium oxide was composed of In and O. Gas sensing properties of the sensors were tested by mixing a gas in air at static state, the tested results showed that the sensor based on In2O3 nanocrystals had satisfying H2S gas sensing properties at rather low temperature.
