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
Thermal Annealing of Polymer Nanocomposites via Photothermal Heating: Effects on Crystallinity and Spherulite Morphology.
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.
