Application

Copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPC) find uses in high-efficiency red electrophosphorescent OLEDs, transistors and OPV
Copper(II) phthalocyanine can be used as an electron donor material or be incorporated into the active layer of organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs). Since it exhibits excellent charge transport properties, it can be be utilized as a p-type organic semiconductor in studies to improve device performance and electrical behavior of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs). It can be employed as an electron-blocking or hole-blocking layer in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) devices for studies to improve efficiency and device stability. It has been used to conduct research in chemical sensing applications, and organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs).
