On the Quantum Yield of Photon Upconversion via Triplet–Triplet Annihilation
Yan Zhou, Felix N. Castellano, Timothy W. Schmidt, Kenneth Hanson
Abstract
In this Viewpoint, we propose an updated labeling scheme for describing quantum yield in TTA-UC so as to better facilitate communication and comparisons across applications, materials, and intervening events and to introduce more consistency in the scientific literature.
