4-tert-Butylpyridine（Cat No.:R045227）is a substituted pyridine derivative with a bulky tert-butyl group at the para (4) position on the aromatic ring. This clear, colorless liquid is widely used as an additive in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to suppress charge recombination and improve efficiency. Its electron-donating tert-butyl group enhances the basicity and steric hindrance of the pyridine ring, stabilizing semiconductor interfaces. In organic synthesis, it serves as a mild base or ligand in catalytic systems. Its hydrophobic nature also aids in modifying surface properties in coordination and material chemistry.
