Application

Lead(II) chloride (PbCl2) (98%) is a lead halide that can be used in the formation of a precursor solution to form perovskites films. These films and sheets can be used in the fabrication of hybrid solar absorbers and photodetectors. It also has potential application as a thermoelectric material.
