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

High Efficiency: CuPc achieves power conversion efficiency of around 1%, with potential improvements to 4% when doped with pentacene.
Effective Electron Donor: Acts as a strong electron donor when paired with fullerene-C60 or PCBM in organic photovoltaics.
Improved Performance: Doping with pentacene enhances the efficiency, demonstrating versatility in OPV applications.
Compatible with Organic Solar Cells: CuPc’s use in vacuum-deposited OPVs supports flexible, cost-effective solar cell designs.

Product Description of Copper(II) Phthalocyanine CAS#147-14-8
Copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) has been used as an electron donor together with fullerene-C60 or phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in vacuum-deposited organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Early power conversion efficiencies of approximately 1% were obtained, and this value was notably increased to about 4% when a pentacene-doped CuPc layer was introduced.
