Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated whether singlet exciton fission process in organic solid, where a triplet excitons pair is generated, can be applied to a solar cell with quantum efficiency of 200% from the elucidation of the primary reaction process. For rubrene single crystals, exciton fission occurs with a time constant of 10 ps. Here, tin oxide nanoparticles were studied as a substitute for fullerene, which is a common electron acceptor. We succeeded in producing a mixed system of microcrystals of rubrene and tin oxide nanoparticles. As a result of transient absorption spectroscopy, singlet fission was observed, but there was no process of charge separation of triplet excitons after that. This is because the diffusion length of triplet excitons is small. Conference presentation was made on this finding. Also, the exciton fission process of other molecular systems was elucidated and the result was published.
