Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews

Bis(1-[3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]-1-phenyl)-[6,6]C62 or bis[C60]PCBM, also known as a PCBM bisadduct (CAS number 1048679-01-1) is used to increase the open circuit voltage of solar cells by approximately 0.1 V due to the higher lying LUMO level [1]. Also used in crystallisation studies, especially when comparing polymer-fullerene packing [2,3].

Polymer-Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

Polymer-fullerene bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells are based on blends of semiconducting polymers and fullerene derivatives, such as PCBM. It is described as a bulk heterojunction as it involves a blend of two materials with differing energy band gaps, forming a dispersed, interpenetrating network.
