Cs₂Hg₃I₈ is a mixed-halide perovskite semiconductor compound composed of cesium, mercury, and iodine. This material belongs to the family of lead-free halide perovskites, which are investigated as environmentally safer alternatives to conventional lead-based perovskites for optoelectronic applications. Currently in the research stage, Cs₂Hg₃I₈ is primarily of interest in photovoltaic and radiation detection research contexts, where non-toxic perovskite semiconductors are sought to replace toxic lead-based compounds while maintaining favorable bandgap and light-absorption properties.
