• A precursor salt in the fabrication of perovskite solar cells. The addition of a small molar excess of PbI₂ to the precursor solution can enhance device performance by improving charge extraction.     
• A potential electrode material in battery configurations due to its electrochemical properties. Its ability to undergo reversible reactions makes it a candidate for use in lead-based batteries.      
• A key component in combination with lead monoxide (PbO) to create a stable and sensitive semiconductor detector material for non-destructive testing (NDT) radiation dose detection.      
• A key component to develop X-ray detectors for medical imaging.      
• To prepare cesium lead iodide perovskite quantum dots for highly stable LEDs.
