This compound is primarily utilized in the development of organic semiconductors, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its structure is designed to enhance the efficiency of solar cells by optimizing light absorption and charge transport properties. The incorporation of fluorine and bromine atoms improves the material's electron affinity, making it suitable for use as an electron acceptor in bulk heterojunction solar cells. Additionally, its thienyl and benzothiadiazole units contribute to stability and solubility, facilitating processing in thin-film applications. This chemical is also explored in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for its potential to improve device performance and energy efficiency.
