Lead(II) bromide, Puratronic™, 99.998% (metals basis)
Description
It is used in the field of antirust, pigment and photograph. The molten lead(II) bromide acts as an electrolyte. Lead(II) bromide provides a high concentration of lead(II) ions and bromide ions to carry the current during the electrolysis process. The rare-earth-doped alkali-lead bromide crystals (potassium lead bromide (or) KPB; rubidium lead bromide or RPB) emerge as promising new low-phonon-energy host materials for mid-IR applications and are useful for solid state lasers. Hybrid organic/lead halide perovskites are promising materials for solar cell fabrication.
