Diluting organic molecules in a polymer matrix material suppresses non-radiative behavior, leading to biluminescence, wherein light is emitted efficiently from both singlet and triplet states.
In summary, biluminescence has developed into a thoroughly optimized and unique emissive system. Among the characteristics obtained through this system, the most
significant is the ability of biluminophores to offer direct access to the radiative states of both spin manifolds (singlets and triplets) in organic molecules without the
requirement for special or complex material combinations. As a result, an exciton is given the chance to re-emit its energy, regardless of its initial state.
In future work, we intend to increase the toolset of organic biluminophores by screening materials to determine the structure-property relationships behind persistent phosphorescence, and to identify molecular building blocks that are suitable for the development of future materials. In addition, we will intensify our exploration of biluminescence for future applications (e.g., sensing).
