Aimed at applications across greenhouse agriculture, solar windows, and security, McDaniel has said previously that the cadmium-free QDs, based around copper indium sulfide, offer a low-cost and low-toxicity alternative to the cadmium selenide and indium phosphide QDs typically found in display applications. Just 1.5 kg of the QD material is said to be enough to cover an area of 5000 ft2. Photo: UbiQD. |
