Investigation on Film Quality and Photophysical Properties of Narrow Bandgap Molecular Semiconductor Thin Film and Its Solar Cell Application

Hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI<sub>5</sub>) is one of the narrowest bandgap molecular semiconductor reported in recent years. Through the study of its energy band structure, it can be identified as an N-type semiconductor and is able to absorb most of the visible light,...
