Robust singlet fission in pentacene thin films with tuned charge transfer interactions
Singlet fission is desirable for highly efficient solar cells, yet the details of the process remain elusive. Here, Broch et al. show that the changes in bulk intermolecular interactions can have little effect on the singlet fission rate in a mixture of pentacene and weakly interacting spacer molecu...
