Indium iodide (In₂I) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining indium and iodine, belonging to the family of metal halide ceramics. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than a mature commercial ceramic; it is studied for optoelectronic and photonic applications where the bandgap and crystal structure of halide compounds are leveraged. Compared to common ceramic alternatives, In₂I and related indium halides offer potential in niche applications requiring specific refractive or semiconducting behavior, though adoption remains limited outside specialized research contexts.
