Methylammonium lead halide

[CH3NH3]PbX3 crystal structure.[1]

Methylammonium lead halides (MALHs) are solid compounds with perovskite structure and a chemical formula of [CH3NH3]+Pb2+(X−)3, where X = Cl, Br or I. They have potential applications in solar cells,[2] lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, radiation detectors,[3][4] scintillator,[5] magneto-optical data storage[6] and hydrogen production.[7]
