Block Copolymer Stabilized Liquid Nanodroplets Facilitate Efficient Triplet Fusion-Based Photon Upconversion in Solid Polymer Matrices

Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla

Sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon upconversion is a photo-physical process that affords anti-Stokes-shifted emission after annihilation of two metastable triplet excitons of an emitter dye and the formation of a fluorescent singlet state ...

Stimulation and homogenization of the protoporphyrin IX endogenous production by photobiomodulation to increase the potency of photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Jaroslava Joniová, Cyrus Kazemiraad

Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is produced in the mitochondria and used as fluorescent contrast agent or photosensitizer after exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) delivery in cancer photodynamic detection and therapy (PDT). Although routinely used in the clini ...

Phototransformation of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Systems: Characterization of Long-Lived Photooxidants Derived from Dissolved Organic Matter

Stephanie Christa Remke

The increasing interest in the fate of organic contaminants in the aquatic environment requires the elucidation of relevant abiotic transformation processes. These processes often involve the ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM), a complex mixture of ...

Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

Frank Jonathan Leresche, Urs von Gunten

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

Discrete metal nanoparticles with plasmonic chirality

Jijun He

From a geometrical perspective, a chiral object does not have mirror planes or inversion symmetry. It exhibits the same physical properties as its mirror image (enantiomer), except for the chiroptical activity, which is often the opposite. Recent advanceme ...

A hybrid erbium(III)-bacteriochlorin near-infrared probe for multiplexed biomedical imaging

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Zhiyong Liu, Fan Zhang, Ting Wang

Spectrally distinct fluorophores are desired for multiplexed bioimaging. In particular, monitoring biological processes in living mammals needs fluorophores that operate in the 'tissue-transparent' near-infrared (NIR) window, that is, between 700 and 1,700 ...

Born to be different: the formation process of Cu nanoparticles tunes the size trend of the activity for CO2 to CH4 conversion

Kevin Rossi, Elena Gazzarrini

We investigate the impact of the formation process of Cu nanoparticles on the distribution of adsorption sites and hence on their activity. Using molecular dynamics, we model formation pathways characteristic of physical synthesis routes as the annealing o ...

Importance of Long-Range Channel Sr Displacements for the Narrow Emission in Sr[Li2Al2O2N2]:Eu2+ Phosphor

Samuel Poncé

The recently discovered Sr[Li2Al2O2N2]:Eu2+ red phosphor, candidate for the next generation of eco-efficient white light-emitting diodes, exhibits excellent emission spectral position and exceptionally small linewidth. It belongs to the UCr4C4-structure fa ...

A general framework for non-exponential delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence decay analysis, illustrated on Protoporphyrin IX

Georges Wagnières, Aurelien Stephen Arnaud Gregor, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Jaroslava Joniová

Delayed fluorescence (DF) is a long-lived luminescence process used in a variety of applications ranging from oxygen sensing in biological tissues to organic Light Emitting Diodes. In common cases, DF results from the deexcitation of the first excited trip ...
