Description

General description

Indium foil is widely used in nuclear facilities to capture thermal neutrons, because it shows a high cross section of neutron capture reaction. Hence, it may be used in dosemeters to measure exposure. Indium foils were studied for simultaneous monitoring neutron and photon intensities in a reactor core.

Application

• High sodium ionic conductivity in PEO/PVP solid polymer electrolytes with InAs nanowire fillers.: Explores the enhancement of ionic conductivity in polymer electrolytes through the incorporation of indium arsenide nanowires, offering significant implications for battery efficiency ( Devi et al., 2021).


• A Corrosion-Resistant and Dendrite-Free Zinc Metal Anode in Aqueous Systems.: Introduces a corrosion-resistant indium-containing anode design for aqueous batteries, which prevents dendrite formation and enhances overall battery safety ( Han et al., 2020).
