Abstract
Hemicellulose polymers are well-known for their applications in biology, but much less in the field of optics, and especially for their applications in fluorescence. On the other hand, original tetrazines that display intense fluorescence due to energy transfer from an absorbing “antenna” have been already described by some of us. In this study, we show that hemicellulose polymers are an host of choice for tetrazine fluorophores, likely due to their remaining locked within the hydrophobic nanodomains of the polymer, thus displaying an impressive increase in the emission quantum yield. We report an application to photon down-shifting in a classical organic solar cell (OSC), as well as an application of these highly emissive doped polymers.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, short communications and subject reviews dealing with research on and applications of electronic polymers and electronic molecular materials including novel carbon architectures. These functional materials have the properties of metals, semiconductors or magnets and are distinguishable from elemental and alloy/binary metals, semiconductors and magnets.
