Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) has been widely studied, but color-tunable TTA-UC system triggered by chemical stimuli has not yet been proposed. Herein, reversible acid/base switching of TTA-UC emission wavelength is achieved for the first time by a simple platform, composed of a direct singlet-triplet (S<sub>0</sub>-T<sub>1</sub>) absorpting photosensitizer, and pH-responsive 9,10-di(pyridin-4-yl)anthracene (DPyA) as acceptor. The photosensitizer-acceptor pair exhibits efficient UC emission (quantum yield up to 3.3%, anti-Stokes shift up to 0.92 eV) with remarkable contrast upon base/acid treatment (Δ<i>λ</i><sub>em,max</sub> = 82 nm, 0.46 eV). In a proof-of-concept study, the color-adjustable TTA-UC emission was applied as a remote modulator to photo-control reversible chemical reactions for the first time. This platform enriches the portfolio of color-switchable TTA-UC, and the mechanism would inspire further development of smart UC systems and extend the application field of upconversion.

Truxene-bridged fullerene, Zn–porphyrin and Bodipy tetrad was prepared which have wider absorption band, and used as triplet PS for two-color excitable triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion, with an large anti-Stokes shift of 4074 cm−1.

The chemical stimuli-responsive triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) system was demonstrated for the first time with high-contrast dual-color UC emission, and this platform was furtherly adopted to induce reversible photoswitching of a photochromic dye remotely under low-energy light excitation at a fixed wavelength.

Measurements of medium and high voltages in a power grid are normally performed with large and bulky voltage transformers or capacitive dividers. Besides installation problems, these devices operate in a relatively narrow frequency band, which limits their usability in modern systems that are saturated with power electronic devices. A sensor that can be installed directly on a wire and can operate without a galvanic connection to the ground may be used as an alternative voltage measurement device. This type of voltage sensor can complement current sensors installed on a wire, forming a complete power acquisition system. This paper presents such a sensor. Our sensor is built using two dielectric elements with different permeability coefficients. A finite element method simulation is used to estimate the parameters of a constructed sensor. Besides simulations, a laboratory model of a sensor was built and tested in a medium-voltage substation. Our results provide a proof of concept for the presented sensor. Some errors in voltage reconstruction have been traced to an oversimplified data acquisition and transmission system, which has to be improved during the further development of the sensor.
