Used as a near-infrared (NIR) dye in optical applications due to its strong absorption in the NIR region. Commonly applied in organic photovoltaics and photodetectors for its excellent light-harvesting properties. Also employed in imaging systems and sensors where deep tissue penetration or low-light detection is required. Exhibits high thermal and chemical stability, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. Its fluorinated structure enhances solubility in nonpolar solvents and improves compatibility with polymer matrices in thin-film devices.
