: Indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) was synthesized using a hydrothermal process. The crystallography and microstructure of the synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The In 2 O 3 had a flower-like hierarchical nanostructure and was composed of tiny near-spherical crystals with a diameter of approximately 20 nm. When In 2 O 3 was mixed with CdO in a 1:1 molar ratio, it was found that the resulting In 2 O 3 /CdO composite showed an interesting grape-like porous microstructure following calcinations at elevated temperatures. A gas sensor using this In 2 O 3 /CdO composite as the sensing material showed higher sensitivity to different concentration of formaldehyde than the gas sensor based on pure flower-like In 2 O 3 nanomaterials. The In 2 O 3 /CdO-based sensors showed a high sensitivity to a concentration of 0.05×10 -6 formaldehyde at the optimized operating temperature of 410 °C and a good level of selectivity over other possible interference gases such as ethanol, toluene, acetone, methanol, and ammonia. The gas sensing mechanism of In 2 O 3 /CdO sensor has been discussed in detail.
