A luminescent cyclometalated platinum(II) complex has been demonstrated to show green electrophosphorescence in multilayer organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) using a dual emissive layer with high current and external quantum efficiencies of 38.9 cd A(-1) and 11.5%, respectively.

An artificial luminescent protein, apoferritin-encapsulated luminescent europium complex, has been designed/fabricated and displays good biocompatibility and long-lived luminescence, which means it can be used as a bioprobe to image living cells with a time-gated mode.

We report herein the synthesis and application of a novel G-quadruplex-selective luminescent iridium(iii) complex for the construction of an oligonucleotide-based, label-free, rapid and convenient luminescent RNA detection platform.

In this article, imaging applications of luminescent complexes and recent advances in the design and photophysical behaviour of near-IR responsive complexes are reviewed. Various properties of the luminescent lanthanide complexes are also discussed in detail.

Stable white-emitting down-converted LEDs are straightforwardly prepared by bulk polymerization of an organic dye doped polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) shell directly on top of a highly efficient commercial blue-emitting InGaN LED. Our optimized polymerization procedure allows for extending the form factor of achievable luminescence converter (LUCO) material beyond the conventional thin film for...

The compromise between light absorption and reabsorption losses limits the potential light conversion efficiency of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Current approaches do not fully address both issues. By using the excitation energy transfer (EET) strategy with a donor chromophore that exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviour, it is shown that both transmission and reabsorpt...

This paper presents a hybrid design, featuring a traditional GaAs-based solar cell combined with various colloidal quantum dots. This hybrid design effectively boosts photon harvesting at long wavelengths while enhancing the collection of photogenerated carriers in the ultraviolet region. The merits of using highly efficient semiconductor solar cells and colloidal quantum dots were seamlessly c...

Adv. Mater. 2009, 21, 1–5 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb We demonstrate print-deposition of high resolution, patterned, multicolored thin films of luminescent colloidal quantum dot (QD)-polymer composites and use the printed patterns in fabricating robust, bright, full-color AC-driven displays. The benefits of AC electroluminescent (EL) displays include simple, low-cost fabrication and high reliabil...

Using optical tweezers combined with luminescence measurements we detected the optical field around two optically trapped silica microspheres partially covered by metal. By monitoring the luminescence of rhodamine 6G we were able to observe an increase of the local field intensity owing to the coupling of the local surface plasmons at the surfaces of two spheres.
