Synthesis and Photophysical Characterization of Annihilator-Sensitizer Pairs for Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Based Photon Upconversion
Transitioning to a future society, independent of fossil fuels, will definitely require the use of solar radiation for power and fuel production. Due to energy mismatch between device absorption and the broad band irradiation provided by the sun there are severe limitations to how efficient devices for direct conversion of solar radiation can be. One way to better use the solar radiation would ...
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 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 کاملPhotophysical characterization of the 9,10-disubstituted anthracene chromophore and its applications in triplettriplet annihilation photon upconversion
Molecules based on anthracene are commonly used in applications such as OLEDs and triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion. In future design of blue emitting materials it is useful to know which part of the molecule can be altered in order to obtain new physical properties without losing the inherent optical properties. We have studied the effect of substitution of 9,10-substituted anthracenes...
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...
