In₂Ca₂Br₆ is an inorganic halide perovskite semiconductor compound belonging to the family of metal halides with potential optoelectronic functionality. This is a research-phase material rather than an established commercial compound; it is being investigated primarily for next-generation photovoltaic and light-emitting applications where lead-free alternatives to conventional perovskites are sought. The indium–calcium–bromine system offers potential advantages in band gap tunability and reduced toxicity compared to lead-based counterparts, though practical device performance and long-term stability remain active areas of investigation.
