singlet exciton fission to permit the collection of two electrons per absorbed high-energy
photon while simultaneously harvesting low-energy photons. In this solar cell, infrared
photons are absorbed using lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals. Visible photons are absorbed
in pentacene to create singlet excitons, which undergo rapid exciton fission to produce pairs
of triplets. Crucially, we identify that these triplet excitons can be ionized at an …
