ZrCl₂ (zirconium dichloride) is an inorganic compound and semiconductor material based on zirconium and chlorine. This material belongs to the transition metal halide family, which has drawn research interest for potential optoelectronic and catalytic applications due to zirconium's high chemical reactivity and variable oxidation states. ZrCl₂ remains primarily a research-phase compound rather than an established industrial material; however, zirconium halides are of interest in materials science for exploring novel band structures, surface reactivity, and potential use in next-generation electronic or photocatalytic devices.
