Indium (Lat. Indium) is the 61st most common element found in the Earth’s crust. It is a malleable, soft, plastic, corrosion-resistant, and electrically conductive metal. Indium has a melting point of 156.61°C and a boiling point of 2080°C.
Indium (chemical symbol In) is used in the manufacture of transparent electrodes, which are components of LCD screens. LCD screens can be found in a wide range of electronic devices, including modern computers, telephones, and televisions. A single liquid crystal display (LCD) can contain up to 0.1 g of indium.
Indium is also an important component of solder. The amount of indium in solder can be up to 50% of the total weight. The unique physico-chemical properties of indium allow it to be used in the manufacture of thermoelectric converters (devices that convert thermal energy into electricity).
