[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (684430) – Sigma-Aldrich

Synonyms
1-[3-(Methoxycarbonyl)propyl]-1-phenyl-[6.6]C61, 3′H-Cyclopropa[1,9] [5,6]fullerene-C60-Ih-3′-butanoic acid 3′-phenyl methyl ester, PCBM, [60]PCBM

General Description
[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester ([60]PCBM) is a methanofullerene that has a better diffusion in organic molecules than fullerenes(C60). It has high electron mobility which allows it to be used as an electron acceptor in major electrochemical applications.

Applications
Soluble n-channel organic semiconductor. For use as an n-type layer in plastic electronics, especially bulk heterojunction OFETs and photovoltaic cells (PVs).
[60]PCBM is an n-type semi-conductor widely used as an a electron transport material with low cost and high surface area in different energy based applications like organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and photodetectors
