Description

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.
