TCI offers zinc compounds to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells

Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI), a global supplier of laboratory chemicals and specialty materials, is offering BPFz zinc compounds, that enhances the efficiency of perovskite solar panels

TCI BPFz zinc compounds


Recent research at Nankai University, in Tianjin has proven the effect of BPFz on perovskite films and solar panels. The researchers found that after surface treatment with BPFz, the efficiency of inverted IPSCs increases from 18.18 to 20.22%, and VOC increases from 1.169 to 1.231 V, with excellent moisture and thermal stability.

 

TCI is offering its Bis(pentafluorophenyl)zinc, highly purified by sublimation.

The same material has also been shown to be effective as a p-type dopant in perovskite solar cells, to improve the device stability (compared to devices using LiTFSI.1).

TCI offers a wide range of materials for the perovskite industry, including perovskite precursors, high-performance hole collecting materials, Phenylethylamine Hydroiodides materials, PACz as p-type SAM forming agents, PDINN materials, SMORI passivation materials, PANDI as an n-type SAM forming agents, Spiro-OMeTAD hole transporting materials, and more. We published an interview with TCI in 2022 to discuss their perovskite materials and views on the industry and market.
