Enhance your sample analysis by performing time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy Unlock the full potential of your solar cell research with advanced photoluminescence spectroscopy. Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) provides crucial insights into charge carrier dynamics, recombination rates, and defect states, essential for optimizing photovoltaic materials. Investigations include steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence, quantum yield measurements, and temperature-dependent studies, all critical for enhancing solar cell efficiency and lifespan. Acquiring detailed spectroscopic data can identify and mitigate efficiency losses in various solar cell materials, such like perovskites and CIGS. ➡ Discover more about investigations of solar cells and photovoltaics: https://lnkd.in/eXc8AWbh ➡ Join our expert Eugeny Ermilov for his talk on July 18 at the PHOTOIUPAC IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry in Valencia about "Non-destructive Steady-state and Time-resolved Photoluminescence Characterization of Photovoltaic Devices" https://lnkd.in/e4A68cUT ➡ Would you like to discuss how advanced photoluminescence spectroscopy can elevate your solar cell research?

We're thrilled to share a recent publication by the group of Prof. Christoph Lienau in Oldenburg, who have made progress in understanding charge transfer dynamics in diaminoterephthalate-C60 dyads. Their research revealed that structural flexibility in these dyads slows down the charge transfer process. The study focuses on electron-donor–acceptor (D–A) dyads, model systems for solar cell applications and mimicking natural reaction centers. Preliminary TD-DFT simulations predicted ultrafast charge separation dynamics, highlighting the need for time-resolved experimental studies. Using a PicoQuant TCSPC module ⏱, they conducted precise time- and spectrally resolved photoluminescence measurements. These showed that the observed triplet state absorption is not a result of the charge separation process but is caused by direct optical excitation of the fullerene moiety. ➡ Dive deeper into the research: https://lnkd.in/gjpPPeie Interested in performing similar experiments to study fast processes with high time resolution?
