Abstract

The effect of Gd³⁺ doping is harnessed to promote the phase transformation of ultrathin (2 nm) InOOH nanowires to corundum In₂O₃ and to stabilize the nanowires against morphological deformation. The approach described here suggests a new route toward morphology and phase control of In₂O₃ nanocrystals, which could be applied to prepare other nanocrystals.
