The synthesized CuPbI3 nano powder has been characterized by thermogravimetric, differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology and the elemental composition of the electrophoretically deposited film have been characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray mapping. The direct band gap energy of CuPbI3 film of average thickness 96 μm has been estimated at 1.82 eV and the film shows a current density of 216 µA/cm2 at 0.62 V measured in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl. This study explores the viability of synthesis of a variety of inorganic halide photocatalysts for enhanced stability and improved solar capturing.
