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 has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more details.

Application

Formamidinium bromide can be used as a precursor material for the synthesis of perovskite absorber layers in solar cells. It can be explored as an additive or component in the design and development of new energy storage materials and devices.
Organohalide based perovskites have emerged as an important class of material for solar cell applications. Our perovskites precursors are useful for synthesizing mixed cation or anion perovskites, needed for the optimization of the band gap, carrier diffusion length and power conversion efficiency of perovskites based solar cells.
