Application

Phthalocyanine is a versatile functional dye with a range of intriguing properties enabling them to find practical applications in various disciplines from organic electronics, energy harvesting and biomedicine. Its derivatives exhibit semiconducting properties, making them valuable materials in organic electronics. They can be incorporated as active layers in organic photovoltaic cells, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and other organic electronic devices.
Phthalocyanine, also known as H2Pc, is a versatile functional dye with a range of intriguing properties enabling them to find practical applications in various disciplines from organic electronics, energy harvesting and biomedicine.
In the field of organic electronics, H2Pc has been explored as a popular Hole Injection Layer (HIL) material for organic light-emitting diode devices (OLEDs).This special compound has also been explored for solar cells application given its robust and intensely colored macrocycles (blue pigments) with high chem., thermal and light stability, properties that are of paramount importance for realistic photovoltaic applications. H2Pc have attracted special attention as photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
In biomedicine, phthalocyanine can serve as selective fluorescent probes for bioanal. and bioimaging, and as efficient photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of cancer and other non-cancerous conditions.
