InCoSi₂ is an intermetallic compound combining indium, cobalt, and silicon in a 1:1:2 stoichiometry, belonging to the broader family of transition-metal silicides. This is a research-phase material with potential applications in thermoelectric devices and high-temperature structural applications, though it remains less developed than more established silicides like MoSi₂ or WSi₂. The material combines the thermal properties of silicides with indium's contribution to electronic behavior, making it of interest for advanced energy conversion and aerospace research contexts.
