to Gas and Vapor Separation Performance Evaluation!
With BELSORP-maxⅡ, it is possible to evaluate the specific surface area and pore size distribution of various functional
materials, as well as the adsorption amount and adsorption rate of various gases and vapors. A new lineup of
high-temperature vapor adsorption measurement and high-pressure gas adsorption measurement specifications
have now been added to BELSORP-maxⅡ, enabling not only material characterization but also gas and vapor
adsorption measurements at high temperatures and high pressures.

High Accuracy Gas / Vapor Adsorption Amount Measurement Instrument

BELSORP -maxⅡ●Measurement range: Specific surface area = 0.01 m2/g or more (N2), 0.0005 m2/g or more (Kr)Pore size distribution = 0.35 to 500 nm (diameter)●Achieves even higher throughput evaluations with simultaneous measurement of
three specimens at extremely low pressure and a maximum of four specimens.
●Significantly reduced measurement time (valve-activated control and GDO).
●Enables high-precision measurement with low sample volume by way of
our Advanced Free Space Measurement method (AFSM™).
●Fully automatic measurement (optional) is possible from pretreatment to adsorption
isotherm measurement.

Speciﬁcations of High Temperature Vapor Adsorption Amount Measurement

BELSORP -maxⅡ-HV●The functions of BELSORP-maxⅡ enable evaluation of gas and vapor (water vapors and VOC) adsorption up to an adsorption
temperature of 70°C (depending on the adsorbate).
●Dedicated analysis software BELMaster Ver. 7 enables the evaluation of not only BET and pore size distribution but also adsorption rates.
Applications: Cement, concrete, building materials, desiccant air-conditioning, low-temperature exhaust heat utilization, batteriesSpeciﬁcations of High Pressure Gas Adsorption Amount Measurement

BELSORP -maxⅡ-HP●The functions of BELSORP-maxⅡ enable the adsorption measurement of high pressure gas (up to a maximum of 1 MPa) up to anadsorption temperature of 70°C.
●Dedicated analysis software BELMaster Ver. 7 enables the evaluation of not only BET and pore size distribution but also adsorption rates.
Applications: CO2 reduction, energy storage (CH4, MCH, H2), and air separation, etc.

Recent emergence of photon upconversion basedon triplet energy migration in molecularassemblies
Nobuhiro Yanai*ab and Nobuo Kimizuka*a
An emerging field of triplet energy migration-based photon upconversion (TEM-UC) is reviewed. Highly
eﬃcient photon upconversion has been realized in a wide range of chromophore assemblies, such as
non-solvent liquids, ionic liquids, amorphous solids, gels, supramolecular assemblies, molecular crystals,

and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The control over their assembly structures allows for unexpected
air-stability and maximum upconversion quantum yield at weak solar irradiance that has never been achieved

DOI: 10.1039/c6cc00089dby the conventional molecular diffusion-based mechanism. The introduction of the ‘‘self-assembly’’ concept
offers a new perspective in photon upconversion research and triplet exciton science, which show promisewww.rsc.org/chemcomm

for numerous applications ranging from solar energy conversion to chemical biology.

Introduction
Photon upconversion (UC) is a process that converts lower
energy (longer wavelength) photons to higher energy (shorter
wavelength) photons. It is technologically important for a variety

of applications ranging from energy to biology. This Feature
Article sheds light on a recently emerged promising strategy,
triplet energy migration-based photon upconversion (TEM-UC).
We start with the brief statements of potential applications,then describe the basic idea and proof-of-concept examples of
TEM-UC, and finally conclude with state-of-the-art materials
designs and future directions.
The eﬃciency of renewable energy production using solar
energy can be enhanced by implementing the UC process. Solarcells suﬀer from the spectral mismatches between the solar emission and the bandgaps, and overcoming the Shockley–Queisser

One of the ultimate goals of chemistry is to control the absolute and relative configurations of elements and design the bonds
between the elements freely. Controlling the absolute configuration and asymmetry of the metallic center is a key to open up
