This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $685,998 to the University of Washington to identify and design new heavy-atom-free sensitizer molecules for near-infrared (NIR)-to-visible photon upconversion. The goal is to enable more efficient harvesting of solar energy by broadening the range of sunlight that solar cells can capture. The project combines synthetic chemistry, optical characterization, theory, and machine learning to develop upconversion materials that can outperform existing precious metal-based and unstable sensitizers. Additionally, the award supports incorporating photon upconversion research into community college laboratory courses, providing authentic research experiences for students.
