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.

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.

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.
