High-throughput characterisation of materials by photoluminescence spectroscopy.

An automatic system for high-throughput (HT) characterisation of large libraries of solid materials by photoluminescence spectroscopy is described. The system provides time-resolved transient emission spectra in the microsecond scale and can be employed for characterisation of materials of interest in the fields of catalysis and electroluminescence, amongst others. Here, we present its application to the optimisation of the ship-in-a-bottle synthesis of a novel electroluminescent polymer (PPV) and a photocatalyst (TP+), both encapsulated in large-pore zeolites.
