The Exploration of Enhanced Photocurrent with Zn-Perylene Metal Organic Frameworks Thin Film and Bodipy via Triplet Triplet Annihilation Upconversion

Abstract

Highly crystalline surface supported metal organic framework thin film has been used to generate enhanced photocurrent in the photoelectrochemical cells. The combination of Zn-perylene SURMOF and pyridine functionalized Bodipy has ~ two times higher photocurrent due to triplet triplet annihilation upconversion than its own parts. This experimentally determined data shows that MOF thin film material is well suited for overcoming the energy loss due to Shockley-Queisser limit for dye sensitized solar cell technology.
