Application
[6,6]-Phenyl-C61-butyric Acid Methyl Ester, commonly known as PCBM, plays a crucial role in the realm of organic electronics as an n-type semiconductor. Its primary purpose is to serve as an electron transport material, capitalizing on its low cost and high surface area. This fullerene derivative is instrumental in various energy-based applications, such as organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), field-effect transistors (FETs), and photodetectors. PCBM's functionalization enhances its solubility and diffusion ability in organic molecules beyond that of standard fullerenes like C60. Renowned for its high electron mobility, PCBM acts as an efficient electron acceptor in electrochemistry and is frequently utilized for electron transmission tasks. For optimal performance in OPVs, a 99% purity of PCBM is recommended, whereas its 99.5% purity variant is preferred for organic field-effect transistor (OFET) applications, where superior crystallization and mobility are paramount.
