Quantum Effect Dramatically Boosts Energy Transfer

Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, led by Professor Kaifeng Wu, have identified a mechanism called proton shuttle-assisted triplet energy transfer (PS-TET). According to the study published in Nature Materials, this process uses the movement of protons to accelerate energy transfer between ZnSe-based colloidal quantum dots and surface-attached phenol-pyridine acceptors, offering a new … Read more
