Butanol, a highly toxic volatile organic compound, poses significant health risks. Consequently, the creation of efficient gas-sensitive materials for butanol detection holds substantial practical significance. This study employed a secondary hydrothermal technique to synthesize In2O3, BiVO4, and th...
