Application
Pentacene (99.999%, trace metals basis) purified by sublimation is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon composed of five linearly fused benzene rings, offering a unique rectilinear molecular structure. It serves as a critically acclaimed p-type semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors, primarily due to its impressive carrier mobilities of approximately 1 cm²/V·s along the substrate plane. These attributes not only enhance its performance in transistor applications but also make it a valuable component in heterojunction solar cells, achieving power conversion efficiencies exceeding 2.7% when paired with C60. Moreover, pentacene's properties extend its utility to the realm of light-emitting diode devices, showcasing its versatility in advanced electronic applications.
