Strategies for High‐Performance Solid‐State Triplet–Triplet‐Annihilation‐Based Photon Upconversion
Advanced Materials · 2020 · 99 citations
Senior authorCorrespondingis reported. This device is the first demonstration of dry-processed solid-state TTA comparable to solution-processed solid-state systems. The strategies reported here can be generalized to other upconversion systems and offer a route to achieving higher-performance solid-state TTA upconversion devices that are compatible with applications sensitive to solvent damage.
Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices
2023-11-14 · 23 citations
book-chapter1st authorCorrespondingThe efficiency of electroluminescent organic light-emitting devices can be improved by the introduction of a fluorescent dye. Energy transfer from the host to the dye occurs via excitons, but only the singlet spin states induce fluorescent emission; these represent a small fraction (about 25%) of the total excited-state population (the remainder are triplet states). Phosphorescent dyes, however, offer a means of achieving improved light-emission efficiencies, as emission may result from both sin…
Excitonic Singlet-Triplet Ratio in a Semiconducting Organic Thin Film
2023-11-14 · 9 citations
book-chapter1st authorCorrespondingA technique is presented to determine the spin statistics of excitons formed by electrical injection in a semiconducting organic thin film. With the aid of selective addition of luminescent dyes, we generate either fluorescence or phosphorescence from the archetype organic host material aluminum tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3). Spin statistics are calculated from the ratio of fluorescence to phosphorescence in the films under electrical excitation. An assumption often employed in the study of e…
