Triplet fusion (TF) upconversion is the process by which low energy photons are combined into one higher energy photon. This process has seen wide advancements in recent years owing to its broad scope of potential applications. However, the number of materials that can be used in TF upconversion are quite limited. Here I will discuss our groups’ efforts towards expanding the library of annihilators for TF upconversion. This includes exploring new chromophores, as well as synthetic modifications to existing materials for more efficient TF upconversion. I will then discuss our groups’ work in exploring the use of these new materials in several potential applications.
