  Efficient solid-state photon upconversion enabled by triplet formation at an organic semiconductor interface

  Highly efficient upconversion of light by organic semiconductor heterojunction interfaces is demonstrated. This process is enabled by charge separation- and recombination-mediated charge transfer states at the interface.
