Funded Activity Summary

Photochemical upconversion for third generation photovoltaic devices. Most solar cells cannot utilise infrared light, as the photons in this spectral region are not energetic enough to promote electrons across the energy threshold. This project will harvest this low energy light, and by 'gluing' the photons together in a process known as upconversion, the project will improve the light harvesting efficiencies of solar cells.
