摘要
Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) based up-conversion is a promising strategy for light harvesting the low-energy tail of the solar spectrum with photovoltaic technologies. Here, we present a bi-component system for photon managing via TTA that allows bypassing the classical statistic limit of 2/5 in the singlet generation, achieving a near unitary conversion efficiency. This result is obtained because of the peculiar relative position of the triplet and singlet energy levels of perylene, used as up-converter and emitter. The system shows a record red-to-blue external up-conversion yield of similar to 10% under an irradiance of 1 sun.
