Sandia Develops a Synthesis of Quantum Dots that Increases the Quantum Yield to 95.5%

On May 23, 2013, in Energy, Energy Efficiency, Materials Science, News, News & Events, Office of Science, Research & Capabilities, Solid-State Lighting

White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on blue indium-gallium-nitride (InGaN) LEDs that excite yellow-green-emitting yttrium-aluminum-garnet: cerium phosphors (YAG:Ce, a nonhygroscopic, chemically inert inorganic scintillator) have a cold white emission that can be made warmer with the addition of a red-emitting component. Unfortunately, red emitters that satisfy all criteria for use in solid-state lighting (SSL) applications are [...]
