Triplet Triplet Annihilation

Triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC) is a process in which triplet excitons combine to form emissive singlets, and holds great promise to improve the spectral match in solar energy and biological applications. While high TTA-UC quantum yields has been reported for e.g., red-to-green TTA-UC systems there are only a few examples of visible-to-UV transformations in which the quantum yield reaches 10%. In this study we investigate the performance of six annihilators when paired with the sensitizer 2,3,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (4CzBN), a purely organic compound that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). We report a record-setting TTA-UC quantum yield of 16.8% (out of a 50% maximum) for 1,4-bis((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)naphthalene (TIPS-Naph), demonstrating the first example of a visible-to-UV TTA-UC system approaching the classical spin-statistical limit of 20%. Three other annihilators, of which 2,5-diphenylfuran (PPF) has never been used for TTA-UC previously, also showed impressive performances with TTA-UC quantum yields above 12%. In addition, a new method to determine the rate constant of triplet-triplet annihilation is proposed in which only time-resolved emission measurements are needed, circumventing the need for more challenging transient absorption measurements. The results reported herein represent an important step towards highly efficient visible-to-UV TTA-UC systems which hold great potential for driving high-energy photochemical reactions.

Triplet Triplet Annihilation

Two new anthracene derivatives were synthesized as emitter for low power triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion. Compared with anthracene, the emitter exhibits high quantum yields up to 85%. Pd (II) tetraphenylporphyrin which was selected as the sensitizer with the existence of BBA in DMF, We find a pretty high efficiency (Φuc=21.9%) of the upconversion fluorescence at 532nm with a low excitation power density of 0.5w/cm2.With the comparison of Anthracene, BBA and BTPA systems, quantum yield of the emitter is very important to the improving of the efficiency of upconversion.

<div>Colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets exhibit exceptionally narrow photoluminescence spectra. This occurs because samples can be synthesized in which all nanoplatelets share the same atomic-scale thickness. As this dimension sets the emission wavelength, inhomogeneous linewidth broadening due to size variation, which is always present in samples of quasi-spherical nanocrystals (quantum dots), is essentially eliminated. Nanoplatelets thus offer improved, spectrally pure emitters for various applications. Unfortunately, due to their non-equilibrium shape, nanoplatelets also suffer from low photo-, chemical, and thermal stability, which limits their use. Moreover, their poor stability hampers the development of efficient synthesis protocols for adding high-quality protective inorganic shells, which are well known to improve the performance of quantum dots. <br></div><div>Herein, we report a general synthesis approach to highly emissive and stable core/shell nanoplatelets with various shell compositions, including CdSe/ZnS, CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdSe/Cd<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1–x</sub>S, and CdSe/ZnSe. Motivated by previous work on quantum dots, we find that slow, high-temperature growth of shells containing a compositional gradient reduces strain-induced crystal defects and minimizes the emission linewidth while maintaining good surface passivation and nanocrystal uniformity. Indeed, our best core/shell nanoplatelets (CdSe/Cd<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1–x</sub>S) show photoluminescence quantum yields of 90% with linewidths as low as 56 meV (19.5 nm at 655 nm). To confirm the high quality of our different core/shell nanoplatelets for a specific application, we demonstrate their use as gain media in low-threshold ring lasers. More generally, the ability of our synthesis protocol to engineer high-quality shells can help further improve nanoplatelets for optoelectronic devices.</div>
