· BiSCl

BiSCl is a bismuth-based semiconductor compound combining bismuth, sulfur, and chlorine elements. This material belongs to the family of mixed-halide and chalcogenide semiconductors, which are primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications rather than established commercial products. BiSCl and related bismuth compounds are investigated for their potential in next-generation solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting devices, offering researchers an alternative to lead-based perovskites with potentially improved stability and lower toxicity.
