For the growth of In2O3 NWs, 0.2 g of fine In powder (Aldrich, Cyprus, Mesh 100, 99.99%) was weighed and loaded in a quartz boat, while square pieces of n + Si 001) ≈ 7 mm × 7 mm, coated with ≈1.0 nm of Au, were loaded at various distances from the In.
In the case of direct oxidation at high temperatures, fine In powder (Aldrich, Mesh-100, 99.99%) was weighed and loaded into a quartz boat together with a Au/Si(111) and plain Si(111) sample.
1.0 ± 0.05 g of ground STP (1 mm meshed centrifugal grinding mill, but with cryomilling where necessary) was weighed into a round bottomed flask.
An amount of 75 gm of ground ginger was weighed before being loaded into a covered stainless steel mesh cylinder and placed into the extraction cell of fabricated hot compressed water extraction (HCW) equipment.
Then, each piece of weigh paper was weighed again.
Resected tumour was weighed.
For the growth of Sn-doped In2O3 NWs, Sn (Aldrich, 2 14 Mesh, 99.9 %), and In (Aldrich, Mesh 99.9 %) were weighed with an accuracy of ± 1 mg.
100 mg of C. sappan powder (50 mesh) was accurately weighed with five samples, and 5.0 mL of methanol, water, acetone, acetonitrile and ethanol were added precisely with ultrasonic processing for 30 min at 35 °C, and then centrifuged for 5 min at 5000 r/min for 5 min.
100 mg of C. sappan powder (50 mesh) was accurately weighed with five samples, and placed in a centrifuge tube with plug, add 5.0 mL of [BMIM]Br, [BMIM]BF4, [BMIM]PF6 and [HMIM]PF6 methanol solution whose concentrations were both 0.5 mol/L precisely, 5.0 mL of methanol in the control group, ultrasonic processing for 30 min at 35 °C.
