My final PhD project is officially out in Advanced Optical Materials! We use 2D perovskite interlayers in a perovskite/rubrene upconversion system to reduce back-transfer and see some cool power and magnetic field dependent behaviour doi.org/10.1002/adom.2025032…

Mitigating Singlet Exciton Back‐Transfer using 2D Spacer Layers for Perovskite‐Sensitised Upconve...

The efficiency of bulk perovskite-sensitised upconversion is hindered by parasitic singlet back-transfer. A 2D perovskite spacer layer is introduced to weaken this loss pathway by increasing the...
