Imidazolium iodide (ImDI), CAS 68007-08-9, is an imidazole hydroiodide salt (C3H5IN2, 195.99 g/mol) supplied by Ossila as powder/crystals with a purity above 99%. It belongs to the alkylammonium halide family of perovskite precursor materials.
The compound and its derivatives have long served as electrolyte components in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). More recently, researchers working on perovskite solar cells and perovskite light-emitting diodes have added it to perovskite solutions to suppress the formation of 3D structures. The resulting material is less vulnerable to moisture, which helps devices remain stable and last longer.
With a melting point of 280 °C, ImDI suits research groups developing multication perovskites and investigating moisture-tolerant optoelectronic devices.
