CESIUM LEAD TRIIODIDE CsPbI₃ 99% CAS 18041-25-3

RESEARCH GRADE MATERIAL

Product Overview

Cesium Lead Triiodide (CsPbI₃, CAS 18041-25-3) is a core all-inorganic perovskite material with CsPbI₃ 99% purity powder, supplied as a white powder with a molecular weight of 720.82 g/mol. As a fully inorganic perovskite precursor, CsPbI₃ exhibits superior thermal stability compared to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials, making it the preferred active layer for all-inorganic perovskite solar cell research targeting high-temperature operational stability. The material is extensively utilized in the development of thermally stable photovoltaic devices, photodetectors, and luminescent nanocrystals. Compatible with solution spin-coating and thermal deposition thin-film fabrication processes, this high-purity precursor delivers consistent optoelectronic performance. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the product requires strict light-sensitive hygroscopic dry storage—sealed under inert atmosphere, protected from light, and maintained at room temperature.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Superior Thermal Stability of All-Inorganic Composition: Unlike organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites that degrade at elevated temperatures due to volatile organic cation loss, CsPbI₃ exhibits significantly enhanced thermal stability, making it the material of choice for high-temperature photovoltaic and optoelectronic device research.
  • Ultra-High Purity Exceeding 99%: The cesium lead triiodide is refined to >99% purity with low batch impurity content, minimizing extrinsic defects in inorganic perovskite thin films and supporting reproducible device performance across solution and vapor-phase deposition techniques.
  • Versatile Application from Thin Films to Nanocrystals: Suitable for CsPbI₃ thin film fabrication via spin-coating and thermal deposition, as well as serving as the precursor for colloidal CsPbI₃ quantum dot and nanocrystal synthesis for light-emitting applications.
  • Defined Stoichiometry for Reproducible Synthesis: With a molecular weight of 720.82 g/mol, the pre-synthesized CsPbI₃ powder provides precise stoichiometric control, eliminating the need for in-situ multi-precursor ratio optimization in single-source deposition workflows.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Core active layer material for all-inorganic CsPbI₃ perovskite solar cells targeting high-temperature operational stability. Precursor for thermally stable photodetectors and X-ray detectors. Source material for CsPbI₃ colloidal quantum dot and luminescent nanocrystal synthesis. Compatible with single-source thermal evaporation and solution-based spin-coating deposition protocols. Supports research on inorganic perovskite phase stabilization strategies including strain engineering and compositional tuning in university and research institute laboratories.
PACKAGING: This listing is for the 5 g specification. Other packaging weights are available upon custom request. Each package is sealed under inert atmosphere within light-protective packaging to prevent photodegradation and moisture ingress. The hygroscopic nature of cesium lead triiodide necessitates immediate transfer to a desiccated, light-protected storage environment upon receipt. For bulk quantities or custom packaging specifications, please contact us via email.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Cesium lead triiodide is hygroscopic and light-sensitive. Tighten the container cap immediately after each use to prevent moisture ingress from ambient air. Wear protective gloves throughout all experimental procedures to avoid direct skin contact. Store in a light-protected, moisture-free environment; do not store together with strong oxidizing agents or acidic reagents. Exposure to atmospheric moisture will cause degradation and irreversible alteration of material stoichiometry. When handling the powder, operate within an inert-atmosphere glovebox (H₂O < 1 ppm, O₂ < 1 ppm). This product contains lead; all experimental waste must be disposed of in accordance with heavy metal hazardous waste regulations. For detailed safety and handling information, consult the Safety Data Sheet prior to use.

Store sealed under inert atmosphere, protected from light, at room temperature in a dry environment. Exposure to moisture causes irreversible stoichiometric degradation and requires inert-atmosphere glovebox handling with H₂O < 1 ppm and O₂ < 1 ppm.

  • Storage Environment: Maintain the material in a light-protected, moisture-free, sealed container at room temperature, and avoid proximity to strong oxidizing agents or acidic reagents.
  • Moisture Sensitivity: Atmospheric moisture will cause irreversible alteration of the material stoichiometry, so the container must be tightly sealed immediately after each use.
  • Light Sensitivity: The powder is light-sensitive and must be stored in light-protective packaging to prevent photodegradation.
  • Glovebox Requirement: All handling of the powder must be performed inside an inert-atmosphere glovebox with H₂O and O₂ levels below 1 ppm.
  • Waste Disposal: All experimental waste containing lead must be disposed of in accordance with heavy metal hazardous waste regulations.

Inspect the sealed packaging upon receipt and transfer immediately to an inert-atmosphere glovebox. All subsequent steps must be performed under strictly controlled moisture and oxygen conditions to preserve material integrity.

Required Equipment: Inert-atmosphere glovebox (H₂O < 1 ppm, O₂ < 1 ppm), Light-protective storage container, Protective gloves, Sealing cap or container closure

  1. Package Inspection
    Inspect the outer packaging for damage and verify the inert atmosphere seal is intact before opening.
  2. Transfer to Glovebox
    Transfer the sealed container into an inert-atmosphere glovebox maintained at H₂O < 1 ppm and O₂ < 1 ppm.
  3. Open Container
    Open the container only inside the glovebox to avoid any exposure to ambient moisture or oxygen.
  4. Weigh Material
    Weigh the required amount of powder using clean, dry tools while keeping the container closed as much as possible.
  5. Reseal Container
    Immediately tighten the container cap securely after each use to prevent moisture ingress.
  6. Store Properly
    Store the sealed container in a light-protected, dry environment at room temperature, away from strong oxidizing agents and acidic reagents.
  7. Dispose of Waste
    Dispose of all lead-containing experimental waste according to heavy metal hazardous waste regulations.

How does the thermal stability of CsPbI₃ compare to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites?

CsPbI₃ exhibits significantly enhanced thermal stability compared to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites because its all-inorganic composition lacks volatile organic cations that cause degradation at elevated temperatures. This makes CsPbI₃ the preferred active layer for all-inorganic perovskite solar cell research targeting high-temperature operational stability.

What thin-film fabrication processes are compatible with CsPbI₃ powder?

CsPbI₃ powder is compatible with solution spin-coating and thermal deposition thin-film fabrication processes, as well as single-source thermal evaporation and solution-based spin-coating deposition protocols. It also serves as a precursor for colloidal CsPbI₃ quantum dot and nanocrystal synthesis for light-emitting applications.

What are the required storage and handling conditions for CsPbI₃ to prevent degradation?

CsPbI₃ is hygroscopic and light-sensitive, requiring storage sealed under inert atmosphere, protected from light, and maintained at room temperature. Handling must be performed in an inert-atmosphere glovebox with H₂O < 1 ppm and O₂ < 1 ppm, and the container cap must be tightened immediately after each use to prevent moisture ingress.

Cesium Lead Triiodide (CsPbI₃, 99% purity) is an all-inorganic perovskite precursor offering superior thermal stability over hybrid perovskites, suitable for high-temperature solar cell and optoelectronic research. Its hygroscopic and light-sensitive nature requires inert-atmosphere handling and light-protected storage, and lead content mandates hazardous waste disposal protocols.
