Harvesting light from normally dark triplet excited states has been a focus of study for decades. More recently, triplet harvesting has become important for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) where serves a crucial role in enhancing their efficiency. Triplets and triplet-harvesting materials however have a plethora of applications that extend beyond OLED, such as bioimaging, optical thermometry, singlet oxygen generation or photodynamic therapy. Luminophores with long-lived emission, such as metal-free room temperature phosphors (RTP) can be used for purposes of luminescent tagging or anti-counterfeit markers.
This Research Topic focuses on design of triplet-harvesting materials and mechanisms underpinning luminescence originating from triplet excited states of organic molecules.
The aim of this Research Topic is to gather recent advances in the area of luminescent triplet-harvesting materials and designs leading to efficient luminescence originating from triplet excited states. We welcome the submission of Original Research articles, Perspectives, Reviews and Mini-Reviews covering subjects relevant to triplet harvesting molecules and materials. We especially invite papers falling within, but not limited to, the following subjects:
• Metal-free and organometallic TADF and RTP materials
• Excimer- and exciplex-forming luminophores
• Triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion materials
• Materials for triplet-to-singlet energy transfer or hyperfluorescence
