Microchem

Microchem is a Korea-based global provider of ultra high-purity materials and components, mainly for the lighting industry. Microchem supplies mixed metal halides of a variety of components and compositions in the form of precisely-sized spheres of narrow mass variation and is now also covering ultra-dry metal halides of most of elements.

Microchem manufactures high-purity metal halides including: PbI₂, SnI₂, BiI₃, RbI₃ and CsI which are widely used in perovskite solar cell development. Microchem is also specialized in pelletizing those metal halides so that each pellet (1.0mg-10.0mg) can contain more than two metal halides according to molar ratio provided by a customer.

Microchem can aid the perovskite research community by providing easy-to-use materials. For example, a pellet (1.0mg) contains both CsI and PbI₂ according to the molar ratio so that researchers or panel makers do not have to purchase CsI and PbI₂ separately and add those metal halides into a solvent.
