Abstract The application potential of singlet fission (SF), describing the spontaneous conversion of an excited singlet into two triplets, underlines the necessity to independently control SF rates, energetics and the optical band gap. Heterofission, whereby the singlet splits into triplets on chemically distinct chromophores, is a promising approach to control the above-mentioned parameters, but its details are not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate the photophysics of blends of two prototypical SF chromophores, tetracene (TET) and rubrene (RUB) using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) to explore the potential for heterofission in combinations of endothermic SF chromophores.

Singlet fission (SF) is a promising multiexciton-generating process. Its demanding energy splitting criterion - that the S1 energy must be at least twice that of T1 - has limited the...

Singlet fission has attracted extensive attention from experimentalists and theoreticians due to its ability to improve photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Still, designing singlet fission materials remains challenging. In this work, we...

Efficient singlet fission (SF) materials with relatively high triplet state energy and broadband light harvesting ability simultaneously have a greater advantage for its practical application into photovoltaics. Herein, we prepared...
