BaCaI₄ is a mixed halide perovskite semiconductor compound containing barium, calcium, and iodine. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, representing an emerging class of lead-free halide perovskites being explored as alternatives to conventional perovskite absorbers. The incorporation of multiple metal cations (barium and calcium) into the perovskite structure offers potential for tuning electronic bandgap, thermal stability, and environmental durability compared to single-cation systems.
