Indium silicate (In₂Si₂O₇) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the family of metal silicates, characterized by a crystal structure combining indium and silicon oxide phases. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and high-temperature applications, where its stability and dielectric properties are being evaluated for next-generation device architectures. Industrial adoption remains limited, with development efforts focused on transparent conducting oxides, wide-bandgap semiconductors, and specialty refractory applications where alternatives like yttria-stabilized zirconia or aluminum silicates are more established.
