Photochemically deoxygenating micelles for protecting TTA-UC against oxygen quenching

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Nov 21;59(93):13895-13898. doi: 10.1039/d3cc04327d.

Abstract

Pluronic F127, P123 and cross-linked F127 diacrylate micelles are photochemically deoxygenating nanocapsules in which oxygen could be removed by photochemical reaction with a surfactant and efficient triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC) can be achieved in air. The efficiency of TTA-UC under air is comparable to that under deoxygenated conditions.
