General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product belongs to Enabling category of greener alternatives thus aligns with "Design for energy efficency". Electron transport organic materials have the chemical functionality to transport electrons and are used as electron transport layer in OLED devices. Click here for more information.

Application

Bathocuproine can be used as an electron modificationlayer or interlayer between ETL(electron transport layer) in perovskite solarcells, which can be fabricated using the spin-coating deposition method or thevacuum thermal evaporation method. The addition of bathocuproine enhances thepower conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells.
