Indium is a silvery-white soft metal with aface-centered tetragonal crystalline structure. It becomes superconductingat 3.37 K. It improves alloys′ hardness, corrosion resistance, andstrength.
Application
Indium can be used as a:
Dopant to tune the electrical and photoelectrical properties of CdSe nanowires.
Negative electrode material for Mg-ion batteries.
Reducing agent in many organic transformations because of its low first ionization potential.

A reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-ZnIn(2)S(4) nanosheet composite was successfully synthesized via an in situ controlled growth process. The as-obtained RGO-ZnIn(2)S(4) composite showed excellent visible light H(2) production activity in the absence of noble metal cocatalysts.
This paper documents the first example of In(III)-catalyzed selective 6-exo-dig hydroarylation of o-propargylbiaryls and their subsequent double-bond migration to obtain functionalized phenanthrenes. Electron-rich biaryl substrates undergo hydroarylation more effectively, and the substrates with various types of substituents on the alkyne
Thin-film photovoltaic devices (PVs) were prepared by selenization using oleylamine-capped Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) nanocrystals sintered at a high temperature (>500 °C) under Se vapor. The device performance varied significantly with [Ga]/[In+Ga] content in the nanocrystals. The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) observed
We investigate the dependence of various efficiencies in GaN-based vertical blue light-emitting diode (LED) structures on the thickness and doping concentration of the n-GaN layer by using numerical simulations. The electrical efficiency (EE) and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) are
