Indium Hydroxide Nanopowder / Nanoparticles

Applications

Electronics and Optoelectronics

Transparent Conductive Films: Indium hydroxide nanoparticles can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of indium tin oxide (ITO), a widely used transparent conductive material in optoelectronic devices like touch screens, flat-panel displays, and solar cells. The nanopowder form enhances the material’s conductivity and transparency, making it ideal for these applications.

Semiconductor Materials: Indium hydroxide nanoparticles are being studied for use in semiconductor devices, as they can be converted into indium oxide (In₂O₃), which is useful in applications like diodes, thin-film transistors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The nanopowder form provides improved performance due to its high surface area and small particle size.

Photocatalysis: Indium hydroxide nanoparticles, especially when combined with other semiconductors, are used as photocatalysts in solar cells and other photo-driven applications. They can absorb light and facilitate reactions, improving energy conversion efficiency.

Catalysis

Catalysts in Chemical Reactions: Indium hydroxide nanoparticles are used in catalytic processes, particularly in organic synthesis and hydrogenation reactions. They can act as catalysts or be incorporated into catalyst systems to promote reactions like oxidation, reduction, and polymerization.

Environmental Catalysis: Due to their high surface area, indium hydroxide nanoparticles can be employed in environmental catalysis, helping in the degradation of pollutants or in wastewater treatment processes. The nanoparticles can catalyze the breakdown of organic pollutants and toxic substances in water and air.

Energy Storage and Conversion

Batteries and Supercapacitors: Indium hydroxide nanoparticles have been explored for use in energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors. Their high surface area allows for increased charge storage, making them useful in enhancing the performance of energy storage systems.

Hydrogen Storage: Indium hydroxide, when modified or combined with other materials, can also be used in hydrogen storage applications. Indium’s properties make it useful in absorbing and releasing hydrogen, a key factor in developing sustainable fuel cell technologies.
