Copper(II) Phthalocyanine CAS#147-14-8

1.Effective electron donor – Copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) functions as an efficient electron donor when paired with fullerene-C60 or phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in organic photovoltaics (OPV).

2.Proven photovoltaic performance – Using CuPc in OPV devices has demonstrated power conversion efficiencies of approximately 1%.

3.Enhanced efficiency with doping – The addition of pentacene to the CuPc layer can significantly improve efficiency, achieving up to 4% power conversion.

4.Versatile OPV application – CuPc can be used in vacuum-deposited OPV devices, highlighting its suitability for advanced organic solar cell technologies.

Product Description

Copper(II) phthalocyanine, commonly referred to as CuPc, is used as an electron donor in combination with fullerene-C60 or phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in vacuum-deposited organic photovoltaics (OPV). Power conversion efficiencies of approximately 1% have been achieved, which can be further increased to around 4% when using a pentacene-doped CuPc layer.
