(mentor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department Chemical Engineering Programme Opto-electronic Materials Date 2012-05-07 Abstract Photochemical upconversion is a process upon which the photons of low energy are converted into photons of higher energy by means of sensitized triplet triplet annihilation. Photochemical upconversion has a potential application in the eld of photovoltaics, where it can signicantly improve the eciency of solar cells by exploiting the energy of near infrared band of solar radiation. In order to design highly ecient chromophores for photochemical upconversion, better understanding of the elementary processes is crucial. Current thesis is an attempt to do so by studying the kinetics and eciency of photochemical upconversion in a model system metal-OEP/DPA utilizing time resolved transient absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopic techniques.
