A significant achievement in solar technology is capable of removing the existing efficiency limitation. Scientists applied a unique metal complex, based on the ‘spin-flip’ effect, to effectively capture and multiply solar energy through the mechanism of singlet fission. This method allowed for an astonishing efficiency of about 130%, which indicates the generation of a greater number of energy carriers compared to the number of absorbed photons. Such a discovery opens prospects for the development of substantially more powerful and productive solar panels in the future.
