The anomalous process in singlet fission kinetic model with time-dependent coefficient

Abstract

In the third generation photovoltaic device, the main physical mechanism that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is enhanced is the singlet fission (SF). In order to accurately describe the SF and reveal physical process in theoretically, we introduce the anomalous process (AP) in SF dynamics based on previous model, including anomalous fission, anomalous fusion, anomalous dissociation and combination of triplet pair states, anomalous decay and diffusion of single triplet exciton. The effects of the AP on SF are investigated by the kinetic model with time-dependent coefficient. Further, according to the results we make the optimal simulations for the experimental data [G. B. Piland et al., J. Phys. Chem. C, 2013, 117, 1224] by adjusting the rate coefficients and exponents in the mended kinetic equations. The results show that the model considered AP is more accurate than previous that to describe SF dynamics, demonstrating that the AP do exist in SF. The model also provides the theoretical foundation for how varies experimentally physical factors to make SF occur to tend to required direction.
