General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more details.

Application

n-Butylammonium iodide (BAI) can be used as an additive that facilitates an improvement in the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It can also be used as an organic ligand in the formation of organic-inorganic perovskites for light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
The iodide and bromide based alkylated halides find applications as precursors for fabrication of perovskites for photovoltaic applications.
