A review of visible-to-UV photon upconversion systems based on triplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion

Due to the tunable spectrum range and potential application under non-coherent solar irradiation, triplet-triplet annihilation based molecular photon upconversion (TTA-UC) systems represent a compelling study field for a variety of photonic implementations. There were studies on the incorporation of TTA-UC technology with photovoltaic technology, which made it possible to further improve the energy harvest performance through the utilisation of the wasted spectrum. However, many TTA-UC studies are limited to energy upconversion within the visible spectrum range. For photovoltaic cells with a higher band gap, which harvest the higher energy spectrum (UV region), an efficient Vis-to-UV upconversion is preferred. The Vis-to-UV TTA-UC system was first introduced in 2006. Recently, more studies were conducted to discover the Vis-to-UV upconversion system with high quantum efficiency and low excitation intensity such as the nanocrystal sensitizerbased system and the thermally activated delayed fluorescence sensitizer-based system. Recent studies in the solvent system of Vis-to-UV upconversion system had demonstrated the dependence of the couple photostability on the solvent and extended the solvent selection to inorganic solvent. In this review, we are reviewing the research background of the Vis-to-UV TTA-UC system and discussing the current challenges and potential developments in this research area.

Fabrication of Strontium Titanate thin film with pre-crystallized layer via sol-gel spin coating method

2022-12 , Kelvin Voon Yan Jie , Mohd Fairus Ahmad , Muhammad Mahyiddin Ramli , Safizan Shaari , Arif Mawardi Ismail , Yusran Sulaiman

The technique of pre-crystallized layer is introduced in the strontium titanate (STO) thin film fabrication to improve the coating thickness and the crystallinity. The STO thin films were fabricated on glass substrates via the spin coating method with STO precursor solution that was synthesized through the sol-gel process. The characteristics of the thin films were analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, profilometry, UV-Vis spectra analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. In the present study, the samples of 20 layers and 25 layers (deposited on the pre-crystallized layer) exhibited better crystallinity as compared with the samples of 5 layers, 10 layers and 15 layers (without the pre-crystallized layer). The samples of 25 layers exhibited the highest film thickness (224 nm), highest absorbance intensity and the highest XRD peak intensity at 32, 40, 47 and 58°, which represent the planes (110), (111), (200) and (210), respectively. The pre-crystallized layer served as the mechanical support for further layer deposition.
