In0.05Co4Sb12 is a cobalt antimony skutterudite compound doped with indium, belonging to the class of thermoelectric materials with cage-like crystalline structures. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for thermoelectric power generation and waste heat recovery applications, where the indium filling fraction in the skutterudite framework is engineered to optimize phonon scattering and reduce thermal conductivity while maintaining electrical conductivity. The skutterudite family is notable for its potential in mid-to-high temperature thermoelectric devices as an alternative to traditional bismuth telluride systems, particularly in automotive exhaust recovery and industrial heat harvesting.
