Application

Bathocuproine serves as a critical component in solar cell technology, specifically organic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs), where it plays a dual role in increasing energy conversion efficiency. As a wide-band-gap material with high electron affinity, Bathocuproine is typically used as an electron-modifying layer or an interlayer between electron transport layers in calcite solar cells. This material can be deposited via spin-coating or vacuum thermal evaporation. Its primary function is to act as an exciton-blocking barrier, preventing excitons from reaching the aluminum electrode where they could be quenched. By establishing an Ohmic contact between the C60 acceptor and the aluminum electrode, Bathocuproine effectively reduces nonradiative recombination at the interface, thus significantly enhancing the power-conversion efficiency of the devices. Its versatility and efficiency make it an invaluable buffer layer in the fabrication of various organic electronic applications, including perovskite solar cells.
