Photochemical upconversion via triplet-triplet annihilation is a promising technology for improving the efficiency of photovoltaic devices. Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of upconversion depends largely on two rate constants intrinsic to the emitting species. Here, we report that
Functionalized imidazolium cations with thioether, urea, or thiourea derivatized side chains act as metal-ligating moieties, whereas the PF6– anions provide the desired water immiscibility.
Sublimed materials for organic electronic devices such of OFETs and OTFTs allow the achievement of better electronic properties, and may help increase a device’s lifetime.
Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) for the selective liquid/liquid extraction of heavy metals from aqueous systems were first published by Robin D. Rogers et al. in the year 2001.
