Lead iodide, also known as plumbous iodide, is a very rarely used compound semiconductor, which appears bright yellow at room temperature. Due to the high atomic numbers of its elements, it has a high ...

“Lead iodide is a key raw material for organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells,” so the details of crystal formation are a subject of considerable research interest.

A German research team has developed a new technique to recover and reuse methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) from perovskite solar cells via solvent extraction. Such recycling method can ...

Once separated, the cleaned lead can then be recycled back to the manufacturers in the form of lead iodide to be used in the creation of more solar cells.

Scientists in Taiwan demonstrated a new way to produce high-purity lead-iodide, as a precursor material for a perovskite solar cell. By using temperature to better control the orientation of ...

Globe Trotting for Lead Scientists first attempted to goad rain from the sky with silver and lead iodide in the 1940s. Since then, researchers have known that lead can pump up the ice crystals in ...
