Electronic energy transfer in tetracene-doped p-terphenyl nanoparticles: Extraordinarily high fluorescence enhancement and quenching efficiency

► Tc/pTP-NPs at various doping ratios are produced by reprecipitation in water. ► The energy transfer in Tc/pTP-NPs is investigated. ► More than 104pTP donors were quenched by a single Tc acceptor. ► Efficient energy transfer is attributed to the rapid exciton diffusion in the NPs.
