Photon upconversion in hetero-nanostructured photoanodes for enhanced near-infrared light harvesting.
A hetero-nanostructured photoanode with enhanced near-infrared light harvesting is developed for photo-electrochemical cells. By spatially coating upconversion nanoparticles and quantum dot photosensitizers onto TiO2 inverse opal, this architecture allows direct irradiation of upconversion nanoparticles to emit visible light that excites quantum dots for charge separation. Electrons are injecte...
متن کاملNear-infrared→visible light upconversion in a molecular trinuclear d-f-d complex.
Molecular nonlinear-optical (NLO) phenomena are currently being exploited for the design of visible emitting bioprobes with unprecedented properties that result from 1) the transparency of living tissues toward low-energy near-infrared (NIR) incident radiation and 2) the improved focusing of the light from an excitation laser beam within nanometric volumes. Nonresonant multiphoton absorption pr...
متن کاملNear-IR phosphorescent metalloporphyrin as a photochemical upconversion sensitizer.
The phosphorescent metalloporphyrin sensitizer PtTPTNP (TPTNP = tetraphenyltetranaphtho[2,3]porphyrin) has been successfully coupled with perylenediimide (PDI) or rubrene utilized as triplet acceptors/annihilators to upconvert 690 nm incident photons into yellow fluorescence through sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation at overall efficiencies in the 6-7% range while exhibiting exceptional ph...
متن کاملEnhancing Solar Cell Efficiency Using Photon Upconversion Materials
Photovoltaic cells are able to convert sunlight into electricity, providing enough of the most abundant and cleanest energy to cover our energy needs. However, the efficiency of current photovoltaics is significantly impeded by the transmission loss of sub-band-gap photons. Photon upconversion is a promising route to circumvent this problem by converting these transmitted sub-band-gap photons i...
متن کاملA bis-cyclometalated iridium complex as a benchmark sensitizer for efficient visible-to-UV photon upconversion.
To resolve the biggest problem in visible-to-UV photon upconversion based on sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation-the quenching of upconverted fluorescence by sensitizers-we discovered a superior sensitizer with less UV absorption intensity that enables highly efficient, low-power (0.78 mW cm(-2)) visible-to-UV upconversion.
