Li@PCBM, the first neutral Li@C 60 derivative, was synthesized. The Li@PCBM exists in a monomer-dimer equilibrium in solution but as a monomer in the PCBM matrix. The fully dispersed Li@PCBM n-doped the surrounding empty PCBM, raising the Fermi level by 0.13 eV compared with the undoped PCBM film. The hybrid films were utilized as an ETL for PSCs, promoting the efficiency of the device.
