Formamidinium Iodide (FAI)
Order Code: M551
Formamidinium lead iodide exhibits a narrower bandgap (1.48 eV) than the commonly used methylammonium lead iodide (1.57 eV) meaning it lies closer to that required for optimum solar conversion efficiencies.

Formamidinium Bromide (FABr)
Order Code: M561
Formamidinium bromide (FABr), is widely used as a perovskite precursor material for FAPbBr3 or a range of formamidinium lead bromide-iodide mixed halide perovskites (FAPbIyBr3-y). FAPbBr3 material, has an energy bandgap of 2.23 eV, making it an ideal candidate for tandem solar cell applications as well.

Ir(piq)2(acac)
Order Code: M671
Bis(1-phenylisoquinoline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III), also known as Ir(piq)2(acac), is commonly used as an efficient phosphorescent red emitter as a guest dopant material in PhOLED devices. It has been reported that the piq ligand can partially suppress the triplet-triplet annihilation and exhibit short phosphorescent lifetime.

TCNQ
Order Code: M681
7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, known as TCNQ has a LUMO at 4.5 eV and is most known for the charge transfer salts formed by its radical anion TCNQ in photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes and organic field-effect transistor devices. TCNQ and its derivatives have been used as dopants, leading to an increase in the hole mobility or to the lowering of injection barriers.
