description Solar energy is widely used as a renewable and clean energy, and how to improve the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of solar devices has always been a hot topic. Singlet fission (SF), which converts one singlet exciton into two triplet excitons, is an exciton multiplication generation process in organic semiconductors and is expected to be integrated into solar cells. Moreover, acenes are currently one of the most widely used and popular SF materials. We review recent research on novel acene materials and their developments in the field of solar cells, aiming to provide researchers with ideas for applying the SF process to solar cells.
