Benzylammonium iodide (BzAI), CAS 45579-91-7, is an alkylammonium halide salt supplied by Ossila as a white powder or crystals with 98% purity. It serves as a precursor for building two-dimensional (2D) layered lead and tin halide perovskites, a group of hybrid semiconductors studied for thin-film photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes.
Besides its role in forming layered structures, BzAI can be added to widely used perovskite compositions to adjust the structure and properties of these hybrid organic-inorganic materials. This makes it a useful tool for researchers optimising perovskite solar cells and perovskite LEDs.
The compound has the formula C7H10IN, a molecular weight of 235.07 g/mol and a melting point of 179 °C. It is also known as benzylamine hydroiodide, phenylmethanaminium iodide or phenylmethylamine iodide.
