When we talk of an energy absorbing material, what weâre really talking about is a material that can control the release of energy in various ways. Energy is never lost â itâs only transferred into different forms. You probably remember this from basic science classes in middle school or high school.
For instance, indium is used: 1  As an absorber layer material in solar panels - to convert photons from the sun into usable electricity. 2  In a variety of compound semiconductor material, such as InAs, InGaAs, and InGaN, - to enable electronics and electro-optic applications like integrated circuits, lasers, and LEDs.
