General description

Lead(II) iodide is a wide band gap(2.32 eV)semiconductor material with unique properties such as high resistivity, a widetemperature range (−200 °C up to +130 °C), and good chemical stability.

Application

Lead(II)iodide can be used as a starting material to prepare:

  • Polycrystalline α-FAPbI3 thin films by solution processing method. These polycrystalline thin films are applicable as photodetectors.
  • Organic/inorganic hybrid 2D perovskite materials, applicable in solar cells.
It can also be used to fabricate a gamma-ray detector at room temperature.

Highly Efficient Nanoscale Inorganic Light Harvesters for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Since the first report of the low-cost dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) in 1991 by Gratzel and his coworker,1 dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been regarded as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies because of their transparent and colorful characteristics, as well as low cost.

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Thiolated gold nanoclusters: A new class of photosensitizers

The past several decades have seen major advancements in the synthesis of metal nanomaterials. Most recently, controlled synthesis has become versatile enough to regulate the exact number of atoms and ligands of very small metal nanoparticles, referred to as “clusters”.
