Near-infrared photon upconversion and solar synthesis using lead-free nanocrystals

Wenfei Liang et al.

Summary: Researchers have used zinc-doped CuInSe2 nanocrystals as a low-cost and non-toxic alternative to lead chalcogenides for near-infrared upconversion. Achieving upconversion to yellow with an external quantum efficiency of 16.7%, this system can be combined with photoredox catalysis for efficient near-infrared-driven organic synthesis and polymerization, overcoming the issue of reabsorption loss. Additionally, the wide light absorption range of these nanocrystals enables rapid reactions under indoor sunlight, extending the potential of "solar synthesis" in the near-infrared spectrum.

Nanoengineering Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion: From Materials to Real-World Applications

Tracy Schloemer et al.

Summary: Using light to control matter has long been a goal for scientists, and triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) may provide a solution by converting low energy photons to high energy photons. This process allows for precise generation of high energy photons, overcoming challenges of light attenuation. Researchers are exploring various sensitizers and annihilators for TTA-UC in solution and solid-state applications. This review discusses deployment strategies and recent examples of TTA-UC, identifying critical needs to advance it from an academic curiosity to a scalable technology.

Facilitating [2+2] Photocycloadditions by Promoting Oxygen Tolerance and Substrate Activation in Water

Julian C. G. Kuerschner et al.

Summary: Micellar photocatalysis enables a [2+2] photocycloaddition in water under aerobic conditions by overcoming oxygen quenching through triplet-energy transfer. The use of self-assembling sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles improves the oxygen tolerance of oxygen-sensitive reactions and activates alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds for energy transfer. Preliminary studies demonstrate the reaction between these compounds and activated alkenes in an SDS, water, and [Ru(bpy)(3)](PF6)(2) mixture.

Metal-Organic Bichromophore Lowers the Upconversion Excitation Power Threshold and Promotes UV Photoreactions

Han Li et al.

Summary: This study reports a new approach to achieve control over blue-to-UV upconversion by tethering a naphthalene unit to a cyclometalated iridium-(III) complex, providing a better option for photochemical applications. The bichromophore demonstrated a higher triplet energy and longer lifetime compared to the parent complex. The threshold for blue-to-UV upconversion to shift from quadratic to linear excitation power dependence was consistently lower with the bichromophore. Additionally, the bichromophore showed long-term stability under blue irradiation and successfully drove chemical reactions that normally require UV light.

Summary: Solar energy harvesting is a promising solution for global transition to carbon-neutral energy technologies. Existing technologies like photovoltaics (PV) and emerging concepts like solar fuels and molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) are rapidly advancing. However, addressing fundamental losses in solar energy, such as photon transmission, recombination, and thermalization, is crucial to fully exploit their potential.

Sensitizer-controlled photochemical reactivity via upconversion of red light

Felix Glaser et al.

Summary: Combining the energy input from two red photons allows for chemical reactions that would normally require blue or ultraviolet irradiation. This biphotonic excitation strategy offers advantages such as deeper penetration and less photo-damage. By altering the photosensitizer in a dual photocatalytic system, the reaction outcome can be completely altered. Different biphotonic mechanisms lead to different photochemical reactivities, which can be controlled by changing the photosensitizer.

Recent advances in triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion and singlet fission, towards solar energy applications

Andrew J. Carrod et al.

Summary: This article introduces two processes for increasing solar light utilization: triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) and singlet fission (SF). Although these two fields are often studied separately, they are actually reverse processes of each other. This article consolidates research in both areas, highlighting their similarities and common challenges, and provides recommendations for future work.

Red Light-Based Dual Photoredox Strategy Resembling the Z-Scheme of Natural Photosynthesis

Felix Glaser et al.

Summary: Photoredox catalysis usually employs single chromophores, and strategies combining two different light absorbers are rare. In this study, the concept of combining two red photons instead of blue or UV light was adapted for photoredox reactions on organic substrates. The research showed that red light is less damaging and has a greater penetration depth compared to blue or UV radiation. Furthermore, the study revealed the mechanistic complexity and controllability of desirable and unwanted reaction steps under multiphotonic excitation conditions.
