Ultrafast spectroscopy and microscopy
Decoupling excitons from high-frequency vibrations in organic molecules
Ghosh et al., Nature (2024)
Coupling to carbon–carbon stretching vibrations was thought to be an unavoidable source of energy loss in organic light emitters. Broadband impulsive vibrational spectroscopy identified two molecular design rules that decouple excitons from these vibrations, giving efficient near-infrared emission.
Ultrafast spectroscopy and microscopy
Ashoka et al., Nature Materials (2023)
Femtosecond polarisation-resolved microscopy shows that light creates micrometre-scale spin domains within picoseconds in polycrystalline halide perovskite films. Local breaking of inversion symmetry drives the spin currents, suggesting a route to optically controlled spin devices that need no external magnetic field.
Ultrafast spectroscopy and microscopy
Efficient energy transport in an organic semiconductor mediated by transient exciton delocalization
Sneyd et al., Science Advances (2021)
Excitons usually travel less than about 50 nm in organic semiconductors. In highly ordered films of polymer nanofibres they travel up to 300 nm, two to three orders of magnitude faster, through a mechanism termed transient exciton delocalisation. The work sets out design criteria for materials with efficient energy transport.
Charge photometry
Avalanche-like intercalation and intraparticle correlations in graphite
Han et al., Nature (2026)
Graphite is the anode in almost every lithium-ion battery. Operando optical microscopy shows that lithium enters graphite particles in sudden, localised “avalanches”, explained by a model in which static disorder controls the dynamics.
Charge photometry
Operando optical tracking of single-particle ion dynamics in batteries
Merryweather et al., Nature (2021)
The paper that introduced charge photometry. Using visible light rather than X-rays or electron beams, it follows lithium ions moving into and out of individual electrode particles inside a working battery, and shows how phase transitions proceed during charge and discharge.
Charge photometry
Merryweather et al., Nature Materials (2022)
Charge photometry applied to an anode material designed for fast charging. At high rates, lithium distributes unevenly within individual particles, and these heterogeneities are linked to particle cracking, a cause of battery degradation.
Singlet fission
Direct observation of ultrafast singlet exciton fission in three dimensions
Ashoka et al., Nature Communications (2022)
An interferometric pump–probe microscope that tracks photoexcitations in three dimensions with sub-10 nm precision and 15 fs time resolution, used to follow singlet fission as it unfolds within pentacene crystals.
Singlet fission
Gray et al., Journal of the American Chemical Society (2024)
Designing the ligands on quantum dots controls how they assemble within organic semiconductor films. This enables efficient conversion of triplet excitons generated by singlet fission into emitted light, a key step towards photon-multiplier films for solar cells.
Organic–lanthanide nanoparticles
Triplets electrically turn on insulating lanthanide-doped nanoparticles
Yu et al., Nature (2025)
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles emit sharp, stable near-infrared light but are electrical insulators. Attaching organic molecules that pass triplet excitons to the nanoparticles allows them to be switched on electrically, giving light-emitting diodes that operate at about 5 V.
Organic–lanthanide nanoparticles
Zhu et al., Nature Chemistry (2026)
The triplet states of organic molecules are normally dark. Coupling the molecules to lanthanide-doped nanocrystals makes these triplets bright, giving room-temperature phosphorescence in solution and in air, conditions under which organic phosphorescence is usually quenched.
