Features of Light Conversion Process with Covering Materials Containing Quantum Dots and their Application in Agriculture

Abstract:

Improving the efficiency of greenhouses is one of the most promising directions in development of agriculture. New perspectives in this field opened up with the development of the new methods of synthesis of a new generation of photoluminescent materials based on colloidal semiconductor photoluminophores (so-called "quantum dots"). It is shown that use of the covering materials containing quantum dots can significantly increase yields. Moreover, introduction of these quantum dots into commercial production can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the covering films used for greenhouses and slow down the process of their destruction. The durability of greenhouse films increases from 1 to 3 years.
