Application

Indium(III) chloride tetrahydrate can be used:
  • As a catalyst for the stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted 4-Piperidones via double Mannich reaction.
  • To fabricate In2S3 thin films that act as buffer layers for inverted organic photovoltaic cells.
  • As a precursor to prepare ZnO/CuInS2 nanocomposite with photocatalytic activity.
  • To fabricate Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin films for various applicationssuch as gas sensors, solar cells, and conductive inks.

General description

Indium(III) chloride tetrahydrate is a Lewisacid widely used as a catalyst for various organic transformationssuch as Friedel-Crafts acylation and aldolcondensation. It is also used as a precursor to prepare indium-based thin filmsfor solar cells.

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
