Quantum dots shine brighter with acid
Researchers have successfully boosted the fluorescent efficiency of white-light quantum dots from an original level of three percent to as high as 45 percent.
“Forty-five percent is as high as the efficiency of some commercial phosphors which suggests that white-light quantum dots can now be used in some special lighting applications,” says Sandra Rosenthal, chair of chemistry at Vanderbilt University.
