In₄S₅ is a quaternary indium sulfide compound belonging to the III–V semiconductor family, with potential applications in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. This material is primarily of research interest for next-generation solar cells, photodetectors, and infrared-sensitive components, where its direct bandgap and sulfide composition offer alternatives to more established III–V semiconductors like GaAs or InP. Industrial adoption remains limited; engineers would consider In₄S₅ when exploring cost-effective or earth-abundant substitutes for conventional indium phosphides, or when narrow bandgap and high absorption coefficients are critical for specialized photonic applications.
