Used as a high-performance organic semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its fused-ring structure and strong intermolecular stacking enhance charge carrier mobility and light absorption in the visible to near-infrared range, making it ideal for efficient solar cells. Commonly employed as an electron acceptor in bulk heterojunction solar cells due to its excellent electron-transport properties and thermal stability. Also explored in flexible electronics and printed circuits because of its solution-processability and compatibility with low-temperature fabrication methods.
