Exciton fission for molecular solar thermal fuels

Summary
For the advanced utilization of light, it is essential to reduce the thermal energy loss associated with excited state relaxation. This energy loss can be circumvented by a photophysical process called singlet fission in which one singlet splits into two triplet excitons. In this work, we combine the singlet fission with photochemical reactions in an aim to develop a new photothermal energy storage system with small energy loss in light energy conversion.

Comment

This work aims to develop molecular technologies that make advanced use of light energy through the design of photophysical and chemical processes.
