Active Layer Materials

The active layer of solar cells is where energy conversion happens. Our extensive selection includes:

  • Non-fullerene Acceptors (NFA) - Offer high tunability and crystallinity
  • Fullerene Acceptors (FA) - Enhance light absorption and charge separation
  • Perovskite - Demonstrates remarkable conversion efficiencies.
  • Titania - Regarded for enhanced electron transport and stability
  • Polymeric Donors - Deliver exceptional versatility and efficiency

In addition to the core materials referenced above (electrodes, hole transport materials, electron transport materials, and active layer materials), our comprehensive solar cell research workflow solutions include Solvents and Chemicals, as well as Substrates and Characterization Tools.

Electron Transport Materials

Facilitate efficient electron transport, stability under operating conditions, and compatibility with the fabrication processes, device architecture, and materials used in the active layer. Choose from organic and inorganic variants, such as TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide), ZnO (Zinc Oxide), PCBM (Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester), and C60 (Fullerene).

Hole Transport Materials

Provide efficient hole transport, stability under operating conditions, and ease of integration into device fabrication processes, choose from both organic and inorganic variants, such as Spiro-OMeTAD, Spiro-MeOTAD, PEDOT, and PTAA.

Electrodes

Choose from a variety of options tailored to your needs:

  • Silver (Ag) - Renowned for excellent conductivity and stability
  • ITO-based (Indium Tin Oxide) - Offers high transparency and conductivity
  • FTO-based (Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide) - Combines transparency with exceptional electrical conductivity
  • Carbon Nanomaterial - Possesses unique properties that enable enhanced performance
