Achieving the photon up-conversion thermodynamic yield upper limit by sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation.
Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) based up-conversion is a promising strategy for light harvesting the low-energy tail of the solar spectrum with photovoltaic technologies. Here, we present a bi-component system for photon managing via TTA that allows bypassing the classical statistic limit of 2/5 in the singlet generation, achieving a near unitary conversion efficiency. This result is obtaine...
متن کاملRobust triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion by efficient oxygen scavenging.
We hereby present a simple method for reducing the effect of oxygen quenching in Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion (TTA-UC) systems. A number of commercially available thioethers and one thiol have been tested as singlet oxygen scavengers. Recording of the upconverted emission from a well-studied PdOEP (sensitizer)-DPA (annihilator/emitter) couple has been made over time with steady-sta...
متن کاملPhoton Upconversion through Triplet-Triplet Annihilation
The sun is the only renewable energy source that can accommodate humanity’s energy needs today and in the foreseeable future. The sunlight reaching the planet’s surface is filtrated through the atmosphere, reducing its UV-light intensity in the 300-400 nm range, which indeed can be harmful to life as we know it in too large doses. However, many useful photoreactions require in practice such hig...
متن کاملTriplet - Triplet Annihilation Upconversion in Solid Materials
Upconversion is the observation of high energy photon emission from low energy photon absorption. 1 Among the multiple upconversion mechanisms, one that has drawn recent interest is triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). TTA holds significant advantages over its upconversion counterparts including its use of simple, tunable molecules and its ability to operate under low intensity, non-coherent lig...
متن کاملIntegrating a triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion system to enhance dye-sensitized solar cell response to sub-bandgap light.
The poor response of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) to red and infrared light is a significant impediment to the realization of higher photocurrents and hence higher efficiencies. Photon up-conversion by way of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is an attractive technique for using these otherwise wasted low energy photons to produce photocurrent, while not interfering with the photoanodi...
