D-Limonene, obtained from the rind of citrus fruits, was demonstrated as a green solvent to realize air-stable and highly efficient triplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC). This natural low-toxic compound also contributed to noncoherent UC excited by a solar simulator in air, making TTA-UC materials promising candidates in solar energy and other practical applications. The rapid deoxygenating ability of D-limonene was thoroughly investigated. This system demonstrated very good UC performance for a fluid solution under ambient conditions. Besides, other eight types of terpene were also explored to enrich the alternatives for air-stable TTA-UC in protic and aprotic fluidic environments. This work provides a terpene-based protective platform for oxygen-sensitive TTA-UC applications ranging from life science to photonic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
