  • Chemical Composition and Properties Potassium iodide (KI) is a salt composed of 76% iodine and 23% potassium, forming white or transparent hexahedral crystals. It exhibits photosensitivity and slight hygroscopic properties, being highly soluble in water.
  • Application with Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) KI is utilized to mitigate the discoloration side effect associated with silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application in minimally invasive dentistry. When applied with SDF, KI forms a yellow, insoluble silver iodide precipitate, preventing black staining on the tooth surface. This combination minimally affects the effectiveness of SDF in arresting dental caries.
  • Historical and Medical Uses Initially derived from seaweed in the early 19th century, KI was primarily used to treat thyroid disorders. However, its applications have expanded, particularly in dermatology, for treating cutaneous sporotrichosis, erythema nodosum, palmoplantar pustulosis, Beh莽et disease, Sweet syndrome, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Some evidence suggests KI may have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Use in Solar Cell Devices KI has been investigated for its role in enhancing the performance of hybrid perovskite materials used in solar cell devices. Its addition to active layers has been shown to passivate defects in triple-cation mixed-halide perovskites, thereby improving their luminescence efficiency and reducing current-voltage hysteresis.
