Methylammonium lead halide

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, lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, radiation detectors, scintillator, magneto-optical data storage and hydrogen production. == Properties and synthesis == The first MALHs to be synthesized were the methylammonium derivatives [CH3NH3]SnX3 and [CH3NH3]PbX3.
