Lead(II) iodide (or lead iodide) is a chemical compound with the formula PbI
2
. At room temperature, it is a bright yellow odorless crystalline solid, that becomes orange and red when heated.[11] It was formerly called plumbous iodide.

The compound currently has a few specialized applications, such as the manufacture of solar cells,[12] X-rays and gamma-ray detectors.[13] Its preparation is an entertaining and popular demonstration in chemistry education, to teach topics such as precipitation reactions and stoichiometry.[14] It is decomposed by light at temperatures above 125 °C (257 °F), and this effect has been used in a patented photographic process.[4][15]

Lead iodide was formerly employed as a yellow pigment in some paints, with the name iodide yellow. However, that use has been largely discontinued due to its toxicity and poor stability.[16]
