To optimize training load, each athlete must take his/her own personal objective and subjective characteristics into consideration and an increasing number of wearable technologies (wearables) provide convenient monitoring of various parameters. Accordingly, it is important to help athletes decide which parameters are of primary interest and which wearables can monitor these parameters most effectively. Here, we discuss the wearable technologies available for non-invasive monitoring of various parameters concerning an athlete's training and health. On the basis of these considerations, we suggest directions for future development. Furthermore, we propose that a combination of several wearables is most effective for accessing all relevant parameters, disturbing the athlete as little as possible, and optimizing performance and promoting health.}, language = {en} } @article{SperlichAuthDyakonov2022, author = {Sperlich, Andreas and Auth, Michael and Dyakonov, Vladimir}, title = {Charge transfer in ternary solar cells employing two fullerene derivatives: where do electrons go?}, series = {Israel Journal of Chemistry}, volume = {62}, journal = {Israel Journal of Chemistry}, number = {7-8}, doi = {10.1002/ijch.202100064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-257506}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Earlier reports demonstrated that ternary organic solar cells (OSC) made of donor polymers (D) blended with different mixtures of fullerene acceptors (A : A) performed very similarly. This finding is surprising, as the corresponding fullerene LUMO levels are slightly different, which might result in decisive differences in the charge transfer step. We investigate ternary OSC (D : A : A) made of the donor polymer P3HT with stoichiometric mixtures of different fullerene derivatives, PC\(_{60}\)BM : PC\(_{70}\)BM and PC\(_{70}\)BM : IC\(_{60}\)BA, respectively. Using quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) we can distinguish between positive and negative polarons, localized on the specific molecules. We found that after the initial charge transfer step, the electrons are re-distributed over two nearby acceptors in agreement with their stoichiometry and their relative LUMO energy difference. Remarkably, the measured ΔLUMO differences in fullerene mixtures are reduced by an order of magnitude compared to that of the pristine materials, i. e., below 1 meV for PC\(_{60}\)BM : PC\(_{70}\)BM and (20±5) meV for PC\(_{70}\)BM : IC\(_{60}\)BA. Furthermore, we found that this reduced ΔLUMO explains the shift in open circuit voltage for D : A : A organic solar cells. We attribute these findings to hybridization, leading to an effective fullerene LUMO. Consequently, multi-acceptor blends are indeed a viable option for photodetectors and solar cells, as they combine the best electron acceptor and light absorbing properties.}, language = {en} } @article{BunzmannKrugmannWeissenseeletal.2021, author = {Bunzmann, Nikolai and Krugmann, Benjamin and Weissenseel, Sebastian and Kudriashova, Liudmila and Ivaniuk, Khrystyna and Stakhira, Pavlo and Cherpak, Vladyslav and Chapran, Marian and Grybauskaite-Kaminskiene, Gintare and Grazulevicius, Juozas Vidas and Dyakonov, Vladimir and Sperlich, Andreas}, title = {Spin- and Voltage-Dependent Emission from Intra- and Intermolecular TADF OLEDs}, series = {Advanced Electronic Materials}, volume = {7}, journal = {Advanced Electronic Materials}, number = {3}, doi = {10.1002/aelm.202000702}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-224434}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) utilize molecular systems with a small energy splitting between singlet and triplet states. This can either be realized in intramolecular charge transfer states of molecules with near-orthogonal donor and acceptor moieties or in intermolecular exciplex states formed between a suitable combination of individual donor and acceptor materials. Here, 4,4′-(9H,9′H-[3,3′-bicarbazole]-9,9′-diyl)bis(3-(trifluoromethyl) benzonitrile) (pCNBCzoCF\(_{3}\)) is investigated, which shows intramolecular TADF but can also form exciplex states in combination with 4,4′,4′′-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA). Orange emitting exciplex-based OLEDs additionally generate a sky-blue emission from the intramolecular emitter with an intensity that can be voltage-controlled. Electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR) is applied to study the thermally activated spin-dependent triplet to singlet up-conversion in operating devices. Thereby, intermediate excited states involved in OLED operation can be investigated and the corresponding activation energy for both, intra- and intermolecular based TADF can be derived. Furthermore, a lower estimate is given for the extent of the triplet wavefunction to be ≥ 1.2 nm. Photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) reveals the population of molecular triplets in optically excited thin films. Overall, the findings allow to draw a comprehensive picture of the spin-dependent emission from intra- and intermolecular TADF OLEDs.}, language = {en} }
