Applications
The 99% purity PCBM is recommended for general OPV use, and the 99.5% purity PCBM is recommended for OFET applications where the highest crystallisation and mobility is required.
Description
(6,6)-PHENYL C61 BUTYRIC ACID METHYL ESTER (PCBM) is a fullerene derivative with good solubility improved by functionalization. Its diffusion ability in organic molecules is better than that of fullerenes (C60). It is known as a typical n-type organic semiconductor material with high electron mobility. It can therefore be used as an electron acceptor in electrochemistry. And it is often used as an electron transmission material.
Uses
[60]PCBM is an n-type semi-conductor widely used as an electron transport material with low cost and high surface area in different energy based applications like organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), field effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors.
General Description
[6,6]-Phenyl C
61butyric acid methyl ester ([60]PCBM) is a methanofullerene that has a better diffusion in organic molecules than fullerenes (C
60). It has high electron mobility, which allows it to be used as an electron acceptor in major electrochemical applications.
Materials Uses
PCBM is the common abbreviation for the fullerene derivative, (6,6)-PHENYL C61 BUTYRIC ACID METHYL ESTER and is one of the most commonly used electron-accepting materials in organic photovoltaic devices.
