How to prepare a suspension using Indium powder?

Hello

I want to prepare a catalyst ink using In powder; however, the particule size is in the µm range and it has been a bit hard to prepare a stable suspension for drop-casting. I have tried water/isopropanol and water/DMF as solvents and Nafion as bider, but it does not work very well..

Thanks in advance!
