Lead(II) iodide is a yellow crystalline substance insoluble in water, its solubility in diverse solvents being temperature-dependent. It is photochromistic, which allows it to alter its color in response to light exposure. Lead(II) iodide is used in a multitude of scientific experiments. It acts as a scintillator for X-ray detectors and serves in radiation shielding due to its high density. It′s semiconducting attributes make it useful in the domains of photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and various electronic apparatus. Additionally, it is used in the fabrication of lead iodide perovskite solar cells, recognized for their elevated efficiency and promising commercial viability.
