Title: On the Quantum Yield of Photon Upconversion via Triplet-Triplet Annihilation

Abstract

In this Viewpoint, we propose an updated labeling scheme for describing quantum yield in TTA-UC so as to better facilitate communication and comparisons across applications, materials, and intervening events and to introduce more consistency in the scientific literature.
