This working group seeks to use excitonics to collect, concentrate, and wavelength-convert sunlight for single junction solar cells, thereby increasing their efficiencies beyond conventional limits. Key topics for this team are: singlet exciton fission and solar-powered lasers for coherent upconversion. This team centers on the organic materials expertise in the Baldo group, with complementary efforts in inorganic luminescent materials from Harry Tuller. The major focus on singlet exciton fission is assisted by theory in the Van Voorhis and Cao efforts.
