In a new study, scientists have developed a composite material that can transform low-energy light into high-energy light.
such as petroleum and coal. It is fluorescent, meaning it can absorb light at specific wavelengths and re-emit light at longer wavelengths, making it a suitable candidate for this technology.
The team developed electrically conductive bridges to transport the electrons between the organic anthracene and inorganic silicon nanoparticles. The composite efficiently transports the electrons between the organic and inorganic components, with the bridge facilitating the process by ensuring a strong chemical bond between the two parts and increasing the energy exchange efficiency.
In a press release, Sean Roberts, the co-author of the study from the University of Texas at Austin, said, “This process gives us a whole new way of designing materials. It allows us to take two extremely different substances, silicon and organic molecules, and bond them strongly enough to create not just a mixture, but an entirely new hybrid material with properties that are completely distinct from each of the two components.
He added, “This concept may be able to create systems that can see in near-infrared. That can be useful for autonomous vehicles, sensors, and night vision systems.” Most importantly, the ability to transform low-energy light into higher-energy light has the potential to enhance the efficiency of solar cells by capturing near-infrared light that would otherwise pass through. Optimizing this technology could lead to a 30% reduction in the size of solar panels.
