Tin triiodide (SnI₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of tin and iodine, belonging to the halide perovskite family of materials. This is primarily a research-phase material investigated for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, particularly as a lead-free alternative in perovskite solar cells and light-emitting devices. SnI₃ offers potential advantages over toxic lead-based perovskites while maintaining favorable band gap and charge transport properties, though commercial deployment remains limited pending further stability and processing optimization.
