This disclosure is related to photo-stable chromophores which are useful in various applications. Chromophores disclosed herein include a bis-triazole core, two electron-donors at C-4 and C-8, and two groups derived from pentaerythritol (R═OR5) or 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)methane (R═H) at N-2 and N-6. Such structures have been proven to have greater then five times higher photo-stability than their analogs with simpler alkyl groups at N-2 and N-6.
Abstract:
The invention provides highly fluorescent materials comprising a single (n=0) or a series (n=1, 2, etc.) of benzo heterocyclic systems. The photo-stable highly luminescent chromophores are useful in various applications, including in wavelength conversion films. Wavelength conversion films have the potential to significantly enhance the solar harvesting efficiency of photovoltaic or solar cell devices.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an encapsulation structure comprising a luminescent wavelength conversion material for at least one solar cell or photovoltaic device which acts to enhance the solar harvesting efficiency of the solar cell device. The luminescent wavelength conversion material comprises at least one chromophore and an optically transparent polymer matrix. Application of the encapsulation structure, as disclosed herein, to solar harvesting devices, including solar cells, solar panels, and photovoltaic devices, improves the solar harvesting efficiency of the device by widening the spectrum of incoming sunlight that can be effectively converted into electricity by the device.
Abstract:
An adhesive can include at least one imidazolium cation of Formula (1) and at least one fluorosulfonylimide anion of Formula (2). In these formulae: R1 is a hydrogen, C1-C3 alkyl or an optionally substituted C1-C12 alkylamine, R3 is each independently a C1-C3 alkyl or an optionally substituted C1-C12 alkylamine, and R2, R4, R5 are each independently a hydrogen or a C1-C3 alkyl; Formula (1); Formula (2).
Abstract:
Described herein are novel azo-benzene type chromophores. The chromophores are useful in photochromic compositions comprising a polymer matrix and a chromophore, wherein the chromophore is a novel azo-benzene type structure. The photochromic composition is photoresponsive upon irradiation by at least one wavelength of laser light across the visible light spectrum. Photochromic devices which comprise the novel azo-benzene type chromophore compound show significantly higher photoinduced birefringence, higher diffraction efficiency, and brighter images than devices that comprise well known azo-benzene chromophores. The photochromic composition may include a liquid crystal.
