Outline

Lanthanide luminescence has been widely used for optical sensors such as thermometers and in vivo sensors. In this project, the emission and quenching pathways of various lanthanide compounds are investigated by using the energy shift approximation and the Global Reaction Route Mapping strategy. To establish the molecular design strategy for lanthanide luminescence materials, I extract the key to determine the quantum yield or sensitivity of the emission intensity by applying the data science techniques.
