ABSTRACT
Light is essential to all life on the earth. Thus, highly efficient light-harvesting systems with the sequential energy transfer process are significant for using solar energy in photosynthesis. For developing an efficient light-harvesting system, a liquid aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye TPE-EA is obtained, as a donor and solvent, which can light up the aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) Nile Red (NiR, acceptor) to construct a quantitative Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system in NiR⊂TPE-EA. Impressively, this FRET pair shows an impressive photothermal effect, producing a peak temperature of 119 °C while excited by UV light, with 37.8% of conversion efficiency. NiR⊂TPE-EA is quite different from most other photothermal materials, which require excitation with long wavelength light (>520 nm). Therefore, NiR⊂TPE-EA firstly converts the solar into thermal energy and then into electric energy to achieve sequential photo-thermo-electric conversion. Such sequential conversion, suitable for being excited by sunlight, is anticipated to unlock new and smart approaches for capturing solar energy.
