Spectroscopical properties investigation of pyrene based molecules in perspective of singlet fission — •Sruthy Asa Rajan, Sergey Bagnich, and Anna Köhler — Universität Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany

Photovoltaics plays a vital role in renewable energy. Theoretically, convectional silicon solar cells' efficiency is limited to 33% known as the Shockley-Queisser limit, which is limited by some practical and fundamental losses like thermalisation loss. Singlet fission (SF) is a carrier multiplication process, which has the potential to overcome Shockley-Queisser limit. In an organic semiconductor, chromophore in its singlet excited state shares its energy with a nearby ground-state chromophore to form two triplet excitons. Recent studies shown that some pyrene derivatives exhibit SF. A study has shown that bridged SF chromophore forms generated triplet pair and hence leading to formation of long-lived triplets.

We are investigating the impact on absorption, photo-luminescence, lifetime decay, time-resolved spectroscopy and quantum yield of different N-substitution groups on para Diketopyrrollopyrrole (PDPP) based pyrene derivatives, which have a comparable triplet energy to silicon bandgap. We will focus more on the changes in morphology of film of these compounds by varying the conditions of film preparation, such solvents, annealing effect, etc. We hypothesis that certain orientation of these pyrene-base molecules can trigger singlet fission.
