Title: Conversion of Photon Energy based on Molecular Self-assemblies

Abstract: Inspired by biological photosynthetic systems, we integrated the concepts of self-assembly and energy migration to develop efficient photon-upconverting molecular systems. In this talk, recent developments on soft materials and condensed solid systems that show unique photon upconversion will be discussed.
