With the continuous development of science and technology, human beings have been inseparable from the support of various metal elements, and the status of rare metals is more prominent. As one of the more common members, indium's wide application has not only brought an irreplaceable promotion to the field of human science and technology, but also made an important contribution to ancient civilizations. Below we will introduce and discuss the relevant knowledge and application of indium.

first of all, the characteristics and applications of indium. Indium is a soft, vertically disruptive and piezoelectric element that glows if hammered, showing a color similar to that of sodium. In the atomic structure, indium has an unfilled 5d band, forming a stable valence state. This special atomic structure determines that indium has unique applications in many fields, such as backlights for liquid crystal displays and packaging materials for optical communication photonic devices. In addition, indium is often used to make shielding materials in solenoids, superconductors, thermoelectric materials, and electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells.

In addition to the field of science and technology, indium has also played an important role in history. Most people have heard of "bronze ware", and indium also plays a role in the formation and promotion of the "Bronze Age. In fact, in the production of ancient bronze ware, because copper has relatively soft defects, in order to make up for the defects, human beings began to mix copper with Xuan (copper ore) to increase its hardness. The indium element contained in Xuan can improve the hardness of copper and prevent the oxidation and corrosion of bronze, so it plays an extremely important role in the manufacture of bronze ware. Although indium

is not conspicuous enough in daily life, it is actually widely used in various modern technology equipment, precision instruments and other fields, and can be called the invisible promoter of this era. After introducing its role, it is not difficult to find that it is not only an "expensive" material, but also an irreplaceable rare gem in the fields of science and technology, medicine and civilization. Its value will also follow the progress of the times. There is a wider application space in the future.
