Popis: During photon upconversion, quantum dots (QDs) transfer energy to molecules in solution through a long ligand shell. This insulating ligand shell imparts colloidal stability at the expense of efficient photosensitization. For the first time, we quantify the barrier these aliphatic ligands pose for triplet energy transfer in solution. Using transient absorption spectroscopy, we experimentally measure a small damping coefficient of 0.027 Å
