Nevertheless, current TTA-UC processes, ever since the first observation in 196222, commonly suffer from drastic emission quenching in aerated milieu, as photoexcited molecular triplet states can be substantially depleted by ground state triplet oxygen (3O2) molecules that are pervasive in real-world environments23. To solve the problem of oxygen quenching, attempts have been made to sustain upconversion in air by dispersing TTA-paired molecules into high-viscosity organic solvents or polymer matrix that can efficiently isolate them from surrounding oxygen molecules, or introducing antioxidants to consume diffusing oxygen molecules before quenching upconversion24,25,26,27,28. Yet, the inherent problem of oxygen quenching in TTA systems persists, posing a grand challenge to long-term technological applications in the real world.

We then studied the chemical stability of the TTA-UC systems in air, in which the sensitizer and annihilators were mixed in chloroform in air (without degassing treatment). We utilized the most well-known PtOEP-DPA TTA-UC system in the visible range and our previously established IR806-rubrene TTA-UC system in the NIR range as two controls for comparison. Emission intensities of IR806-BTTQDs were retained (by more than 80%) even after storing in air for 7 days (Fig. 2a), with no noticeable solution color change (Fig. 2b). In sharp contrast, serious oxygen quenching was observed in both IR806-rubrene and PtOEP-DPA TTA-UC systems, resulting in a nearly complete upconversion quenching after storing in air in less than 2 days and 1 day, respectively (Fig. 2a). The oxygen sensitivity could also be seen through the time-evolved color change of TTA solution in air (Fig. 2b). We further vacuum-degassed IR806-BTTQD 2 solution which showed only a slightly improved TTA-UC stability than non-degassed counterpart over a 7-day scale storage, demonstrating the oxygen insensitivity of IR806-BTTQD 2 (Supplementary Fig. 22). The high chemical stability of IR806-BTTQDs solution in air promise their variety of applications in aerated environments pervasive in real world.

Excitations of the oxygen 1s subshell in selected 3d transition-metal oxides have been studied by inelastic scattering of 75-keV electrons. Striking variations in the near-edge fine structure are reported and an interpretation is developed based on an empirical molecular orbital energy-level model. We compare our observed fine structure with that evinced in the metal K and L3 edges in these same oxides. While the molecular-orbital model seems adequate for interpreting the spectra of TiO2, it fails for at least some of the oxides studied. For example, in the case of NiO, a self-consistent Hartree-Fock computation for the oxygen 1s excitation spectrum gives results showing that the near-edge structure is not adequately described by the unoccupied density of states of the solid before core-hole excitation. Instead, the initial spectral peaks are shown to be core excitons. However, for TiO2, a tight-binding extended Hckel calculation neglecting the core hole yields a density of states that displays peaks in good agreement with the experimental data. Speculations on the origin of the difference between the spectra of NiO and TiO2 are offered.

Flammable mixture. Mixtures of fuel gases and air or oxygen may be explosive and shall be guarded against. No device or attachment facilitating or permitting mixtures of air or oxygen with flammable gases prior to consumption, except at the burner or in a standard torch, shall be allowed unless approved for the purpose.

Maximum pressure. Under no condition shall acetylene be generated, piped (except in approved cylinder manifolds) or utilized at a pressure in excess of 15 psig (103 kPa gauge pressure) or 30 psia (206 kPa absolute). The 30 psia (206 kPa absolute) limit is intended to prevent unsafe use of acetylene in pressurized chambers such as caissons, underground excavations or tunnel construction.) This requirement is not intended to apply to storage of acetylene dissolved in a suitable solvent in cylinders manufactured and maintained according to U.S. Department of Transportation requirements, or to acetylene for chemical use. The use of liquid acetylene shall be prohibited.

Personnel. Workmen in charge of the oxygen or fuel-gas supply equipment, including generators, and oxygen or fuel-gas distribution piping systems shall be instructed and judged competent by their employers for this important work before being left in charge. Rules and instructions covering the operation and maintenance of oxygen or fuel-gas supply equipment including generators, and oxygen or fuel-gas distribution piping systems shall be readily available.

All portable cylinders used for the storage and shipment of compressed gases shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, 49 CFR parts 171-179.

Compressed gas cylinders shall be legibly marked, for the purpose of identifying the gas content, with either the chemical or the trade name of the gas. Such marking shall be by means of stenciling, stamping, or labeling, and shall not be readily removable. Whenever practical, the marking shall be located on the shoulder of the cylinder.

Inside of buildings, cylinders shall be stored in a well-protected, well-ventilated, dry location, at least 20 feet (6.1 m) from highly combustible materials such as oil or excelsior. Cylinders should be stored in definitely assigned places away from elevators, stairs, or gangways. Assigned storage spaces shall be located where cylinders will not be knocked over or damaged by passing or falling objects, or subject to tampering by unauthorized persons. Cylinders shall not be kept in unventilated enclosures such as lockers and cupboards.

Oxygen cylinders shall not be stored near highly combustible material, especially oil and grease; or near reserve stocks of carbide and acetylene or other fuel-gas cylinders, or near any other substance likely to cause or accelerate fire; or in an acetylene generator compartment.

Oxygen cylinders stored in outside generator houses shall be separated from the generator or carbide storage rooms by a noncombustible partition having a fire-resistance rating of at least 1 hour. This partition shall be without openings and shall be gastight.

Oxygen cylinders in storage shall be separated from fuel-gas cylinders or combustible materials (especially oil or grease), a minimum distance of 20 feet (6.1 m) or by a noncombustible barrier at least 5 feet (1.5 m) high having a fire-resistance rating of at least one-half hour.

Cylinders, cylinder valves, couplings, regulators, hose, and apparatus shall be kept free from oily or greasy substances. Oxygen cylinders or apparatus shall not be handled with oily hands or gloves. A jet of oxygen must never be permitted to strike an oily surface, greasy clothes, or enter a fuel oil or other storage tank.

When transporting cylinders by a crane or derrick, a cradle, boat, or suitable platform shall be used. Slings or electric magnets shall not be used for this purpose. Valve-protection caps, where cylinder is designed to accept a cap, shall always be in place.

Valve-protection caps shall not be used for lifting cylinders from one vertical position to another. Bars shall not be used under valves or valve-protection caps to pry cylinders loose when frozen to the ground or otherwise fixed; the use of warm (not boiling) water is recommended. Valve-protection caps are designed to protect cylinder valves from damage.

Cylinders not having fixed hand wheels shall have keys, handles, or nonadjustable wrenches on valve stems while these cylinders are in service. In multiple cylinder installations only one key or handle is required for each manifold.

Cylinders shall not be placed where they might become part of an electric circuit. Contacts with third rails, trolley wires, etc., shall be avoided. Cylinders shall be kept away from radiators, piping systems, layout tables, etc., that may be used for grounding electric circuits such as for arc welding machines. Any practice such as the tapping of an electrode against a cylinder to strike an arc shall be prohibited.

Unless connected to a manifold, oxygen from a cylinder shall not be used without first attaching an oxygen regulator to the cylinder valve. Before connecting the regulator to the cylinder valve, the valve shall be opened slightly for an instant and then closed. Always stand to one side of the outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
