This article deals with the novel electrochemical synthesis of In2S3 nanoparticles, their application in photocatalysis, electrical conductance and biological activity. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, UV-VIS, DLS and FE-SEM (EDAX) techniques. The UV-Visible spectrum revealed that, the synthesized nanoparticles are photoactive under UV light radiation. The X-ray diffraction reveals that, the average crystalline size to be 76.3 nm. The photo catalytic decolorization of the Indigo carmine dye, follows first order reaction. The antimitotic activity has been evaluated, using Allium Cepa by the method of Levan. The antibacterial activity of In2S3 nanoparticles, against bioluminescent Photo bacterium lieognathi was investigated.
