Scientists in the U.S. have come a step closer to taking advantage of singlet fission - a phenomenon seen in certain solar cell materials that promises to greatly increase energy yield. By designing and testing various molecules, the group was able to better understand the fundamental processes behind the mechanism and optimize materials to better take advantage of it.Singlet fission (SF) is a "two for one" mechanism whereby one photon (light particle) can create two excited states in a semiconductor material, instead of the usual one. The mechanism has been observed in various cell materials, ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
