Near-infrared light-activated Z -to- E isomerization of azobenzene via triplet sensitization from PbS quantum dots
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: photoisomerization using any desired wavelength across the visible and NIR spectra up to 900 nm. The photoswitching of Azo1 when combined with PbS QDs exhibits reversible photoisomerization and good fatigue resistance over alternating irradiation cycles of 365 nm and 808 nm light. Our strategy of combining Azo and QDs holds promise for advancing the development of high-performance NIR light-activated optoelectronic materials and devices.
