Recycling of spin-triplet excitons in organic photovoltaics - Nature
Triplet excitons in OPVs can redissociate via the charge-transfer state into free carriers, reducing losses and improving efficiency, enabled by molecular design controlling singlet–triplet energetics through exciton delocalization.

Researchers in Japan have directly imaged excitons in carbon nanotubes for the first time. Excitons govern processes such as light absorption and charge carrier transport in nanotube-based devices, so being able to see what they're doing should be very useful. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/scientists...
