General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more details.

Application

n-Propylammonium iodide (PAI) is used as an additive for the formation of perovskite films. The film can be further used in the fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSC) with an efficiency of ~11.3%.
The iodide and bromide based alkylated halides find applications as precursors for fabrication of perovskites for photovoltaic applications.
