Used primarily in the electronics industry for the production of indium-containing semiconductors and thin-film coatings. Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of indium-based transparent conductive oxides, which are essential in flat-panel displays, touchscreens, and solar cells. Also utilized in specialized optical coatings due to its low refractive index and transparency in the ultraviolet to infrared range. Additionally, it acts as a catalyst in certain organic synthesis processes. Finds limited use in dental materials and fluoride-releasing compounds for research purposes, as well as in developing advanced materials with unique electrical and optical properties.
