Silicon Nano-materials Research & Development for Lighting

Phosphors used in lighting and display solutions are mostly derived from rare-earth elements (REEs), which is an environmental hazard to extract and process. Furthermore, persistently elevated prices since 2010 and IP restrictions on LED applications by major players have driven the lighting industry to seek alternatives for REE-phosphors.

LumiSands offers a cost-effective, non-toxic, and eco-friendly option for REE-phosphors with our patent-pending silicon quantum dot phosphor (SiQD-phosphor) technology.

Nanoco partners major R&D and blue-chip industrial organisations in the development of applications incorporating semiconductor nanoparticles, "quantum dots".

Nanoco is unique in the nanomaterials market as a company that manufacture large quantities of quantum dots. Our molecular seeding process for the bespoke manufacture of these quantum dots on a commercial scale is protected by worldwide patents.

nanoComposix specializes in the fabrication, characterization, and integration of nanomaterials into products and systems. Our mission is to enable our customers to maximize the potential benefits of nanotechnology through the use of precisely engineered, highly characterized nanomaterials. Our multi-disciplinary technical teams provide method and protocol development, rapid prototyping, integration solutions, and testing services for researchers in aerospace, defense, material science, and biotechnology industries.
