The laboratory of Prof Timothy Bender (Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto) has recently shown that prototype planar heterojunction organic solar cells (phOSCs) based on boron subphthalocyanine (BsubPc) are stable in the ambient environment for a prolonged period of time. Our laboratory is a world leader in the study and application of this novel class of organic electronic compounds. Our laboratory has the unique ability to perform a complete linear integration of novel synthetic BsubPcs into prototype phOSCs and then not only characterize the phOSCs in the laboratory but also characterize their performance in the ambient environment atop the roof of our building. We have shown the ability not only to make a variety of novel BsubPcs but also a variety of phOSC device configurations. Our recent roof-top study has indicated that BsubPcs applied as electron accepting and light absorbing materials in a planar heterojunction configuration yielded surprisingly stable OSCs in the ambient environment. Due to these results we feel these materials in this device configuration have the potential to become commercially viable. We are therefore applying for an I2I Market Assessment grant to reach out to the field, market space and potential customers in order to hear the 'voice of customer' with regards to the form in which a prototype OSC of this type should take and therefore what application it should target.

Timothy Bender教授（多伦多大学化学工程与应用化学）的实验室最近表明，基于硼亚酞菁（BsubPc）的原型平面异质结有机太阳能电池（phOSC）在周围环境中长时间稳定。 我们的实验室在这类新型有机电子化合物的研究和应用方面处于世界领先地位。我们的实验室具有将新型合成BsubPcs与原型phOSC进行完全线性整合的独特能力，然后不仅在实验室中表征phOSC，而且还在我们建筑物屋顶的周围环境中表征其性能。 我们已经证明了不仅能够制造各种新颖的BsubPc，而且能够制造各种phOSC器件配置。我们最近的屋顶研究表明，BsubPcs作为电子接受和光吸收材料应用在平面异质结配置产生令人惊讶的稳定的OSC在周围环境中。由于这些结果，我们认为该器械配置中的这些材料具有商业可行性。 因此，我们正在申请I2I市场评估赠款，以接触现场，市场空间和潜在客户，以便听到“客户的声音”，了解这种类型的原型OSC应该采取的形式，因此应该针对什么应用。
