Application

Guanidinium iodide (GI) belongs to the class of guanidinium salts that crystallize in polar symmetry. It can be used as a passivating material for enhancing the grain boundaries and improving the open-circuit voltage. It can further be used in the fabrication of polymeric solar cells (PSCs).
The iodide and bromide based alkylated halides find applications as precursors for fabrication of perovskites for photovoltaic applications.

Of the many materials and methodologies aimed at producing low-cost, efficient photovoltaic cells, inorganic-organic lead halide perovskite materials appear particularly promising for next-generation solar devices owing to their high power conversion efficiency. The highest efficiencies reported for perovskite solar cells
Zhi-Kuang Tan et al.
Nature nanotechnology, 9(9), 687-692 (2014-08-05)
Solid-state light-emitting devices based on direct-bandgap semiconductors have, over the past two decades, been utilized as energy-efficient sources of lighting. However, fabrication of these devices typically relies on expensive high-temperature and high-vacuum processes, rendering them uneconomical for use in large-area
