This product is an enabling product used as a Hole Transport Material for high-performance solar cells and thus has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Layers of CuSCN exhibit high hole mobility, high thermal stability, and exceptional optical transparency across the UV-Vis/NIR spectrum. CuSCN finds application as an alternative to organic hole transport materials such as PEDOT:PSS and Spiro-MeOTAD in perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs). Photovoltaic conversion efficiencies of >20% have been reported in PSCs with CuSCN [5]. In addition, compared to Spiro-OMeTAD the CuSCN-based PSCs have been shown to exhibit better thermal stability.

The optical, structural and charge transport properties of solution-processed films of copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) are investigated in this work. As-processed CuSCN films of ~20 nm in thickness are found to be nano-crystalline, highly transparent and exhibit intrinsic hole transporting characteristics
