Abstract: Indium(III) hydroxide nanopowder has been successfully obtained by hydrolysis of indium chloride in alkaline alcohol solutions. Its suspension has been used to form thick films of In₂O₃ using a drop-coating method with a following thermal decomposition of indium hydroxide upon the glass substrate. Concentrations of precursors have been varied to influence well a particle size in colloids. The same synthesis has been applied to form In₂O₃ inverse opals by impregnation of polystyrene opals with an ethanol suspension of In(OH)₃ nanopowder of the finest particles. Phase composition, temperature of decomposition and micromorphology of the samples have been investigated by X-ray phase analysis, dynamic light scattering, thermal analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopies.
