Used as a n-type semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its high electron mobility and stability under ambient conditions. Employed in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) as an electron acceptor material, enhancing device efficiency when paired with suitable donor materials. Acts as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy, generating reactive oxygen species upon light exposure for targeted cancer cell destruction. Applied in gas sensors for detecting electron-deficient gases like nitrogen dioxide, leveraging its sensitive electrical response to analyte interactions. Utilized in electroluminescent devices and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an electron transport layer to improve device performance. Its strong absorption in the visible and near-infrared regions makes it suitable for use in nonlinear optical materials and photonic devices.
