Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or
photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both …

Solar energy is an ample renewable energy resource, with photovoltaic (PV) technology
enabling a direct route from light to electricity. Currently, PVs are limited in photon …

The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

The past 20 years have witnessed a renaissance of dye chemistry, moving from traditional
colorant research toward functional materials. Different from traditional colorant research …

Organic (opto) electronic materials have received considerable attention due to their
applications in thin-film-transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, sensors, photorefractive …

This account aims at providing an understanding of singlet fission, ie, the photophysical
process of a singlet state (S1) splitting into two triplet states (2× T1) in molecular …

Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

Singlet fission (SF) is a photophysical downconversion pathway, in which a singlet excitation
transforms into two triplet excited states. As such, it constitutes an exciton multiplication …

One of the most pressing environmental concerns of our age is the escalating level of
atmospheric CO2. Intensive efforts have been made to investigate advanced porous …

When an assembly of two or more molecules absorbs a photon to form a singlet exciton, and
the energetics and intermolecular interactions are favourable, the singlet exciton can rapidly …
