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.
