Applications:
-
Catalysis: Functions as an active catalyst in low-temperature hydrogenation, CO₂ reduction, and organic coupling reactions, offering high surface reactivity and selectivity in heterogeneous and semiconductor-supported systems.
-
Energy Storage: Used as an electrode material in lithium-ion batteries and solid-state capacitors. Also applied in conductive inks for flexible electronics and printed photovoltaics, benefiting from nanoscale purity and particle size.
-
Optoelectronics and Transparent Conductors: Serves as a precursor for indium tin oxide (ITO), widely used in touchscreens, OLEDs, and solar cells. Nanoparticle form enhances film conductivity, uniformity, and optical transparency.
-
Semiconductor and Microelectronics: Used in soldering, thermal interface materials, and interconnects due to its low melting point (157 °C) and excellent wettability. Compatible with GaAs, InP, and Si-based device architectures.
-
Additive Manufacturing and Composites: Acts as a sintering additive and reinforcement agent in metal and ceramic matrices, improving mechanical strength, ductility, and thermal/electrical conductivity.
-
Vacuum Seals and Heat Sinks: Forms helium-tight hermetic seals in vacuum systems, cryogenics, and optical assemblies. Its malleability and oxide-disrupting behavior allow reliable sealing at low temperatures. Also used in cryogenic heat sinks for infrared detectors and superconducting electronics.
-
Display and Thin-Film Solar Cells: Essential in CIGS solar cells and IGZO-TFT displays, enhancing charge transport, resolution, and energy efficiency in LCDs, OLEDs, and photovoltaic modules.
