Indium chloride is an inorganic compound, mainly divided into indium dichloride (InCl₂) and indium trichloride (InCl₃). Indium dichloride is a hygroscopic colorless solid, while indium trichloride is a white powder. Indium chloride is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics and materials science. It can be used to produce photoelectric devices such as leds and solar cells, and as a raw material for other indium compounds such as indium hydrochloride and indium hydroxide. In addition, indium chloride is used as a catalyst, pigment and additive to glass materials. In the biomedical field, indium chloride can be used to prepare nuclear medical imaging agents.
