“…For these reasons, there is a great deal of interest in exploring alternative luminescent materials for SSL applications, such as quantum dots (QDs) and inorganic-organic nanocomposites. Such materials should be non-toxic, widely available, safe, and inexpensive to extract and process, thermally and photostable, have high quantum yields, and desirable downconversion characteristics [1]. While luminescent materials satisfying some of these requirements have been demonstrated, there is as yet no material which meets all of them.…”
