Shell Thickness and Heterogeneity Dependence of Triplet Energy Transfer between Core-Shell Quantum Dots and Adsorbed Molecules.
Journal Article Journal of the American Chemical Society · May 2025 Quantum dot (QD)-sensitized triplet energy transfer (TET) has found promising applications in photon upconversion and photocatalysis. However, the underlying mechanism of TET in the QD-acceptor complex remains unclear despite the well-developed TET theory ... Full text CiteCoherence in Chemistry: Foundations and Frontiers.
Journal Article Chemical reviews · November 2024 Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in chemistry research (e.g., energy harvesting, femtosecond spectroscopy, molecul ... Full text CiteFluence-Dependent Photoinduced Charge Transfer Dynamics in Polymer-Wrapped Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.
Journal Article Journal of the American Chemical Society · November 2024 Because an individual single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) can absorb multiple photons, the exciton density within a single tube depends upon excitation conditions. In SWNT-based energy conversion systems, interactions between excitons and charges make it ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
