Triplet - 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 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 کاملTemperature Dependence of Triplet–Triplet Annihilation Upconversion in Phospholipid Membranes
Understanding the temperature dependency of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is important for optimizing biological applications of upconversion. Here the temperature dependency of red-to-blue TTA-UC is reported in a variety of neutral PEGylated phospholipid liposomes. In these systems a delicate balance between lateral diffusion rate of the dyes, annihilator aggregation, and ...
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 کاملEvaluation of Amyloid Fibrils as Templates for Photon Upconversion by Sensitized Triplet-Triplet Annihilation
In the face of global warming and shrinking resources of fossil fuels the interest in solar energy has increased in recent years. However, the low energy and cost efficiency of current solar cells has up to this date hindered solar energy from playing a major role on the energy market. Photon upconversion is the process in which light of low energy is converted to high energy photons. Lately, t...
