NanoOptical Materials produces Quantum Dot nanocrystals for a wide variety of optical applications
I. Introduction Solar energy is central to decarbonization, but conventional silicon (c-Si) panels only convert a portion of sunlight efficiently. Two complementary advances—luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) and quantum dots (QDs)—offer a practical path to higher output per panel. LSCs harvest … Continued
1. Introduction: Reinventing Solar Panels at the Nanoscale As the global energy landscape transitions toward clean, decentralized sources, solar power has emerged as a pillar of sustainability. Yet, traditional photovoltaic (PV) technologies face performance limitations. The need for higher efficiency, … Continued
Introduction: A New Standard in Nanomaterials Quantum dots (QDs) have revolutionized optics and electronics — from ultra-vivid displays to next-generation solar cells and bioimaging. But as these materials transition from labs to commercial products, safety and environmental compliance are under … Continued
We have introduced product lines of both Organic soluble and Water soluble InP/ZnSe/ZnS Quantum Dots. These QDs provide an alternative to more toxic Cadmium based QDs for many applications. The InP/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs have high Quantum Yields (brightness) with narrow … Continued
We have improved our product line of Cd free (non-toxic) quantum dots (QDs). We now offer InP/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs to provide fluorescent emission in the visible region of the spectrum (520 nm to 600nm) at 20 nm intervals. These QDs provide … Continued
The 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to the inventors of Quantum Dots, Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexi Ekimov. This award is a recognition of the industrial importance of Quantum Dots in many applications and the expertise … Continued
Applications A popular application of Quantum Dots (QDs) is the coating of a thin layer of QDs over a surface to obtain surface luminescence at a specific wavelength or combination of wavelengths. When QDs are coated on a transparent planar … Continued
