As the world races toward net-zero, organic photovoltaics—or OPV—are stepping into the spotlight. Lightweight, flexible, semi-transparent, and printable, OPV is no longer just a lab curiosity—it’s powering the future of wearable tech, smart windows, and indoor energy harvesting. At the heart of this revolution is ChemWhat, a premium materials brand from Watson International, delivering the high-purity, structurally precise molecules that turn scientific breakthroughs into real-world devices. ChemWhat’s strength lies in its complete OPV ecosystem—from donors and acceptors to critical intermediates. Its polymer donors like PM6 and PTQ10, paired with next-gen non-fullerene acceptors such as L8-BO and PY-IT, are setting new efficiency records. In standard device architectures, PM6:L8-BO achieves an impressive 18.78% power conversion efficiency, while D18:L8-BO soars to 20.24%—among the highest ever reported for solution-processed solar cells. And PTQ10:PY-IT delivers exceptional current output, proving high performance doesn’t have to mean high cost. Even classic materials remain vital. ChemWhat supplies PC61BM—the gold-standard fullerene derivative—in two grades: 99.5% for research and 99.9% for precision devices—serving not only OPV but also perovskite solar cells as a top-tier electron transport layer and grain boundary passivator. But great devices start with perfect building blocks. ChemWhat offers a comprehensive catalog of ultra-pure intermediates—fluorinated indanone cores, alkylated thiophene stannanes, BDT derivatives, and custom monomers like C11TT(N-EH)BT, QX-1, Y5, ZR1, and MPhS—all manufactured with ppb-level control over metals and moisture to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility. To meet industrial demands, ChemWhat has mastered scalable production. Using proprietary low-temperature purification and molecular distillation, it delivers kilogram-to-ton quantities of materials like D18, L8-BO, and PM6 without compromising purity or performance. Today, ChemWhat’s materials empower leading labs worldwide—including Cambridge, Harvard, ETH Zurich, NUS, UNIST, and the University of Toronto—accelerating innovation in non-fullerene design, interface engineering, and flexible module integration. Looking ahead, ChemWhat is committed to greener chemistry, halogen-free systems, and collaborative ecosystems that bridge materials, devices, and applications. By fusing database-grade precision with industrial-scale manufacturing, ChemWhat isn’t just supplying chemicals—it’s fueling the flexible, sustainable energy future, one molecule at a time.
