Abstract: The present invention includes upconversion materials such as lanthanide-sensitized oxides that are useful for converting low-energy photons into high-energy photons. Because silicon-based solar cells have an intrinsic optical band-gap of 1.1 eV, low-energy photons having a wavelength longer than 1100 nm, e.g., infrared photons, cannot be absorbed by the solar cell and used for photovoltaic energy conversion. Only those photons that have an energy equal to or greater than the solar cell's band gap, e.g., visible photons, can be absorbed and used for photovoltaic energy conversion. The oxides described herein transform photons having an energy less than the energy of a solar cell's band gap into photons having an energy equal to or greater than the energy of the band gap. When these oxides are incorporated into a solar cell, they provide more photons for photovoltaic energy conversion than otherwise would be available in their absence.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to functionalized carbon black material that may be particularly usable for as a filler material to a number of beneficial uses, particularly in image forming devices. The disclosed functionalized carbon black material compositions include hydrophobic carbon black particles surface passivated via the use of an NB-block copolymer where the NB block contains a pentafluorostyrene-maleimide alternating polymer and the B block contains pure pentafluorostyrene. The A/B portion allows for the polymer to adsorb onto the carbon black while the b-block acts as the stabilizer in fluorinated systems. Fine dispersions result from the addition of poly (pentafluorostyrene/Maleimide-b-pentafluorostyrene) or P(PFS/MI-b-PFS) passivated carbon black to fluorinated polymers, enhancing the physical and mechanical properties.
