General description

Indium(III) fluoride is a white crystalline solid with a relatively high melting point. It is a wide band gap semiconductor suitable for optoelectronic applications. Non-oxide glasses are made using indium(III) fluoride.

Application

Indium(III) fluoride can be used:
  • As a precursor to prepare indium oxide thin films for various applications.
  • To fabricate Pr3+/Er3+ co-doped glasses for white light emission.
  • For surface fluorination treatment of Indium-based quantum dots to enhance their photoluminescence quantum yield.
  • As an electrolyte additive for Li-metal batteries to enhance theircycling performance.
