NREL researchers want to use tetracene to make singlet fission solar cells

Tetracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is commonly used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), or as a sensitizer in chemoluminescence. Singlet fission solar cells can produce two electrons from one photon, making the cell more efficientResearchers from the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are planning to use synthesized tetracene diacid (Tc-DA) to develop so-called singlet fission solar cells. Tetracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is commonly used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), ...
