· Cu2 Hg1 I4

Cu₂Hg₁I₄ is a ternary semiconductor compound composed of copper, mercury, and iodine, belonging to the family of mixed-halide semiconductors with potential for optoelectronic applications. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, explored for its electronic band structure and photon interaction properties in the context of next-generation photovoltaic and radiation detection devices. The copper-mercury-iodide system represents an experimental alternative to conventional semiconductors, with potential advantages in tunable bandgap and solution-processability compared to rigid inorganic semiconductors, though material stability and scalability remain active research challenges.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
