Application

Zinc iodide can be used:
  • As an activator to synthesize poly(vinyl methyl ether) via living cationic polymerization. ZnI2 is known to produce living vinyl ether polymerizations.
  • To prepare precursor solutions for lead halide perovskite solar cells. The addition of ZnI2 leads to higher stability against environmental moisture when introduced into perovskite cells.
