[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (684457) – 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 solubility in organic solvents than fullerenes(C60). It has high electron mobility, which enables its function as an electron acceptor in 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 electron transport material with low cost and high surface area in different energy based applications like organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), field effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors
