General description

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.

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

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

Unlike graphene, a hexagonal InP sheet (HInPS) cannot be obtained by mechanical exfoliation from the native bulk InP, which crystallizes in the zinc blende structure under ambient conditions. However, by ab initio density functional theory calculations we found that a

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.
