Cd₂In₈I₁₂ is a ternary halide semiconductor compound combining cadmium, indium, and iodine. This material belongs to the family of metal halide semiconductors under active research for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, particularly as an alternative or complementary material to perovskite systems. While not yet in widespread industrial production, compounds in this family are investigated for their potential in thin-film solar cells, photodetectors, and radiation detection due to favorable bandgap engineering possibilities and the stability advantages of layered halide structures.
