Solar overall water-splitting by a spin-hybrid all-organic semiconductor. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5047.

Abstract
Direct solar-to-hydrogen conversion from pure water using all-organic heterogeneous catalysts remains elusive. The challenges are twofold: (i) full-band low-frequent photons in the solar spectrum cannot be harnessed into a unified S1 excited state for water-splitting based on the common Kasha-allowed S0 → S1 excitation; (ii) the H+ → H2 evolution suffers the high overpotential on pristine organic surfaces. Here, we report an organic molecular crystal nanobelt through the self-assembly of spin-one open-shell perylene diimide diradical anions (:PDI2-) and their tautomeric spin-zero closed-shell quinoid isomers (PDI2-). The self-assembled :PDI2-/PDI2- crystal nanobelt alters the spin-dependent excitation evolution, leading to spin-allowed S0S1 → 1(TT) → T1 + T1 singlet fission under visible-light (420 nm~700 nm) and a spin-forbidden S0 → T1 transition under near-infrared (700 nm~1100 nm) within spin-hybrid chromophores. With a triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion, a newly formed S1 excited state on the diradical-quinoid hybrid induces the H+ reduction through a favorable hydrophilic diradical-mediated electron transfer, which enables simultaneous H2 and O2 production from pure water with an average apparent quantum yield over 1.5% under the visible to near-infrared solar spectrum.

Development of excitation power-responsive anti-stokes emission wavelength switching and their energy saving induced by localized surface plasmon resonance. DISCOVER NANO 2024; 19:47. [PMID: 38485894 PMCID: PMC10940560 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-024-03991-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
We designed an external stimulus-responsive anti-Stokes emission switching using dual-annihilator-based triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion systems. This system, which was constructed by incorporating a palladium porphyrin derivative as a sensitizer and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) and 9,10-bis(triisopropylsilyl)ethynylanthracene (TIPS) as annihilators into polymer thin films, produced TIPS- and DPA-based anti-Stokes emission under low and high excitation powers, respectively. The mechanism involves the following: under low excitation power, triplet energy transfer from triplet-excited PdOEP to DPA is induced, followed by relay to TIPS. This results in the generation of triplet-excited TIPS, and the subsequent triplet-triplet annihilation between them produces TIPS-based anti-Stokes emission. Conversely, under high excitation power, the high-density triplet-excited DPA, generated through triplet energy transfer from PdOEP, undergoes triplet-triplet annihilation among themselves, resulting in the generation of DPA-based anti-Stokes emission. Additionally, we achieved energy savings by reducing the required excitation power for switching through the utilization of plasmonic metal nanoparticles. The strong local electromagnetic fields associated with the localized surface plasmon resonance of metal nanoparticles enhance the photoexcitation efficiency of PdOEP, subsequently increasing the density of triplet-excited DPA. As a result, anti-Stokes emission switching becomes feasible at lower excitation powers.

Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) has been widely studied, but a color-tunable TTA-UC system triggered by chemical stimuli has not yet been proposed. Herein, reversible acid/base switching of the TTA-UC emission wavelength is achieved for the first time by a simple platform, composed of a direct singlet-triplet (S0-T1) absorption photosensitizer, and proton-responsive 9,10-di(pyridin-4-yl)anthracene (DPyA) as an acceptor. The photosensitizer-acceptor pair exhibits efficient UC emission (quantum yield up to 3.3%, and anti-Stokes shift up to 0.92 eV) with remarkable contrast upon base/acid treatment (Δλem,max = 82 nm, 0.46 eV). In a proof-of-concept study, the color-adjustable TTA-UC emission was applied as a remote modulator to photo-control reversible chemical reactions for the first time. This platform enriches the portfolio of color-switchable TTA-UC, and the mechanism would inspire further development of smart UC systems and extend the application field of upconversion.

Abstract
The addition of stimuli-responsiveness to anti-Stokes emission provides a unique platform for biosensing and chemosensing. Particularly, stimuli-responsive photon upconversion based on triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is promising due to its occurrence at low excitation intensity with high efficiency. This Minireview summarizes the recent developments of TTA-UC switching by external stimuli such as temperature, oxygen, chemicals, light, electric field, and mechanical force. For the systematic understanding of the underlying general mechanisms, the switching mechanisms are categorized into four types: 1) aggregation-induced UC; 2) assembly-induced air-stable UC; 3) diffusion-controlled UC; and 4) energy-transfer-controlled UC. The development of stimuli-responsive smart TTA-UC systems would enable sensing with unprecedented sensitivity and selectivity, and expand the scope of TTA-UC photochemistry by combination with supramolecular chemistry, materials chemistry, mechanochemistry, and biochemistry.
