| Application: | Cesium chloride can be used:• As crystal seeds to enhance the coverage of the CH3NH3PbI3−xClx absorber layer in perovskite solar cells. It helps to boost the power conversion efficiency of solar cells. • As a medium to synthesize N and P-codoped carbon nanospheres for application in fuel cells and zinc-air batteries. • To fabricate silicon nanopillars for solar cells, batteries, light-emitting diodes, etc. • To enhance the thermal stability of polyoxometalates(used as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries). • To synthesize the lead-free halide double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 with excellent moisture, light, and heat resistance. This material shows great potential for various optoelectronic applications, including photovoltaics. |
