High quality and available for fast, secure dispatch
Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews
PBDB-TCl-T1 is a cholorinated version of PBDB-TF-T1 which obtains better solubility in non-halogenated solvents, i.e. o-xylene while still maintaining high device performance efficiencies over 16%.
Comparing with PBDB-TF-T1, both HOMO and LUMO energy levels of PBDB-TCl-T1 should be lowered due to the fact that electron density can be delocalised more effectively to the chlorine atom than the fluorine atom on the BDT (benzodithiophene) backbone unit. Higher open voltage can thus be expected PBDB-TCl-T1 in polymer solar cell devices.
