Description

General description

ICBA is a C₆₀ derivative that can be synthesized from C₆₀ and indene. It is an acceptor material with shallow lowest occupied molecular orbital(LUMO) which can be used to enhance the performance of polymeric solar cells(PSCs).

The performance of indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (ICBA) as organic solar cell (OSC) has been described in a study. Simple preparation and high solubility inorganic solvents renders ICBA as an efficient substitute to [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM).

Application

A ternary bulk heterojunction system (BHJ) may be fabricated with ICBA low band gap polymer, for IR sensitized organic solar cells. 1-3ICBA/thiazolo-thiazolo donor polymer blend may be used to enhance the charge generation in BHJ solar cells.

ICBA can be used with poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) as an active layer which can be used in the fabrication of organic solar cells(OSCs).ICBA in combination with thiazolo-thiazolo can be used as a donor. It can be blended with PCBM for photovoltaic based application.
