Original abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion sensitized by quantum dot is often limited by the short exciton lifetime, necessitating tethered triplet transmitter. Here, we report a transmitter-free system of ZnSe quantum dot and 2,5-diphenyloxazole achieving 24% upconversion quantum yield, the highest for quantum dot sensitization upconversion. The upconversion quantum yield peaks at 30 mM 2,5-diphenyloxazole. Transient spectroscopy shows the triplet energy transfer efficiency is over 80% regardless of the 2,5-diphenyloxazole concentration, but the triplet-triplet annihilation efficiency dominates the overall upconversion quantum yield and shows a strong dependence on the 2,5-diphenyloxazole concentration that increases first from 10% to 25%, then decreases. The optimal concentration is achieved when the triplet 2,5-diphenyloxazole collision probability is highest, thus ensuring a maximum triplet-triplet annihilation efficiency. This work demonstrates a design principle of binary quantum dot upconversion system and reveals the critical role of modulating emitter concentration for optimal upconversion quantum yield.
