Application

Methylammonium iodide (MAI) can be used as a precursor in combination with lead iodide to change the morphology of the perovskite materials. Perovskite materials can further be utilized in the fabrication of alternative energy devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
Methylammonium iodide (MAI) is utilized in the production of various optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors and lasers. MAI is employed in the synthesis of perovskite-based semiconductors, which have garnered interest in the field of electronics due to their exceptional photovoltaic and optoelectronic properties. MAI can be used to sensitize other types of solar cells, such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), by enhancing light absorption and electron transfer processes.
The iodide and bromide based alkylated halides find applications as precursors for fabrication of perovskites for photovoltaic applications.
