Application

Bathocuproine can be used as an electron modificationlayer or interlayer between ETL(electron transport layer) in perovskite solarcells, which can be fabricated using the spin-coating deposition method or thevacuum thermal evaporation method. The addition of bathocuproine enhances thepower conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells.
