Zinc indium sulfide (Zn(InS₂)₂) is a ternary semiconductor ceramic compound belonging to the chalcogenide family, combining zinc and indium sulfides into a single-phase material. This is primarily a research-stage compound studied for optoelectronic and photonic applications where wide bandgap semiconductors are needed; it has not achieved significant commercial-scale production. The material is of interest in the semiconductor research community for potential use in UV-responsive devices, photocatalysis, and solid-state lighting, where its sulfide chemistry offers different electronic properties compared to more conventional oxide ceramics or binary semiconductors.
