Used in organic photovoltaics as a low-bandgap electron acceptor material, enhancing light absorption in the near-infrared range for improved solar cell efficiency. Commonly employed in bulk heterojunction solar cells due to its strong intermolecular stacking and good charge transport properties. Also explored in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) for its semiconducting behavior and stability under ambient conditions. Its brominated end groups allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enabling molecular tuning for specific electronic applications.
