Singlet fission (SF) is a multiple exciton generation process, where two or more exciton pairs can be generated with one absorbed photon. By involving the SF process into photovoltaic (PV) devices, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the single-junction solar cell is believed to be able to circ...
