The structural transformation of cesium lead iodine (CsPbI3) has been investigated in diamond anvil cells up to similar to 15 GPa at room temperature by employing synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. One reversible transformation from orthorhombic (Pnma) to monoclinic (P2(1)/m) phase has been observed at 3.9 GPa. Isothermal pressure-volume relationship of orthorhombic CsPbI3 is well fitted by the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with K-0 = 14(3) GPa, K'(0) = 6(2) and V-0 = 891(7) angstrom(3). The ultralow value of bulk modulus K-0 demonstrates the high compressible nature of CsPbI3, similar to those of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites. The present results provide essential information on the intrinsic properties and stability of CsPbI3, which may be applied in photovoltaic devices.
