Using benzene molecules to manufacture singlet fission solar cells

Researchers at MIT are planning to use acenes to make singlet fission solar cells. Acenes are benzene molecules with unique optoelectronic properties.

Singlet fission solar cells can produce two electrons from one photon, making the cell more efficient.

Acenes are benzene molecules. They are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons made up of linearly fused benzene rings (C6H6).
