Can anyone suggest the best method to clean spiro-OMeTAD?

10 October 2014 1 5K Report

How do you usually clean spiro-OMeTAD before using in solar cell devices from moisture or other impurities that might dramatically affect the device performances.

Michal J Radziwon

Popular way to purify spiro-OMeTAD is to perform column chromatography followed by recrystallization.

For some details see an article of Nam Joong Jeon et al.:

"o-Methoxy Substituents in Spiro-OMeTAD for Efficient Inorganic–Organic Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells"
