AB  - Lead indium selenide (PbIn2Se₄) is a promising chalcogenide semiconductor for optoelectronic and 
energy applications. We report a hydrothermal synthesis route using ethylene glycol under moderate conditions (433–
453 K, 7–12 h), yielding up to 85–87%. The product crystallized into a cotton-like morphology composed of nanoand
 microparticles. Structural and compositional integrity were confirmed by chemical analysis, thermogravimetric 
analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. These results demonstrate that hydrothermal synthesis provides an 
efficient and controllable pathway to high-purity PbIn2Se₄, opening opportunities for its use in advanced functional 
devices.
