Lead iodide (PbI2)

Description:
Lead iodide (PbI2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its bright yellow crystalline appearance, which can appear as a powder or solid. It is a heavy metal halide with a tetragonal crystal structure, exhibiting a high degree of stability under normal conditions. Lead iodide is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. It has a relatively high melting point and is known for its photoconductive properties, making it useful in various applications, including photovoltaic cells and radiation detection. The compound is also notable for its use in the preparation of perovskite solar cells, where it serves as a precursor material. However, due to the toxicity of lead, handling PbI2 requires caution to avoid environmental and health risks. In terms of reactivity, lead iodide can undergo decomposition at elevated temperatures, releasing iodine gas. Overall, PbI2 is significant in both industrial applications and research, particularly in the fields of materials science and photonics.
