General description

TGA/DSC Lot specific traces available upon request
Copper(II) phthalocynaine (CuPc) is a metal phthalocyanine dye that acts as a p-type semiconductor. It has a charge mobility of 10-4 cm2/Vs. It forms a chemically stable thin film that exhibits photoconductivity and catalytic activity.

Application

CuPc is a semiconducting material that can be used in a variety of optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), field effect transistors (FETs) and solar cells/organic photovoltaics (OPVs).
