Indium as an Anode Material

Abstract

Indium and its alloys with bismuth and lead are evaluated as energy producing electrodes for use in small sealed cells. The value of bismuth as an alloying element in promoting the ability of the electrode to function at high current densities is discussed and the electrical capacity, voltage stability, and temperature voltage coefficient of alkaline cells with mercuric oxide cathodes are given.

Structural analysis of In/Ag, In/Cu and In/Pd thin films on tungsten by ellipsometric, XRD and AES methods

“…Thin films of indium and its alloys are currently used in microelectronic [1] and optical devices [2,3], alkaline batteries [4], electrical contacts [5,6], and decorative and protective coatings [7]. Formation of indium alloys with silver, copper or palladium via solid-liquid interdiffusion is one of the potential bonding techniques [8] for providing a good interconnection in electronic packing.…”

IR‐VIS‐UV ellipsometry, XRD and AES investigation of In/Cu and In/Pd thin films

“…But for In/Pd system large differences between measured and calculated ellipsometric parameters were observed for all models in Eqs. (1)- (4). The linear profile appeared suitable for modelling the diffusive layers of the 300 nm In film on Cu and Pd(10)/In/Pd films with a 10 nm top layer of Pd.…”

“…1 Introduction Extensive studies of indium are closely related to its commercial application in microelectronic and optical devices [1][2][3], alkaline batteries [4], electrical contacts [5,6], protective and decorative coatings [7]. Nowadays, in modern branches of technology special attention is paid to the development of materials, which are neutral for the environment and human health.…”
