‘Two-for-one’ fission aims to improve solar cell efficiency

Singlet fission occurs when an organic molecule absorbs one photon of light, then splits that light’s energy in two—a doubling effect that has the potential to improve the light-harvesting efficiency in solar cells, assuming the generated electrons can be properly harvested. Singlet fission occurs when an organic molecule absorbs one photon of light, then splits that light’s energy in two—a doubling effect that has the potential to improve the light-harvesting efficiency in solar cells, assuming the generated electrons can be properly harvested. Analytical Chemistry Materials Science Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
