Upconversion Nanocrystals for Sustainable Technology

Upconversion Nanocrystals for Sustainable Technology focuses on the current research directions in upconverting nanocrystals and their role in the development of sustainable technology. Sections focus on the development of low-cost, nontoxic, energy-efficient, upconverting nanocrystals for a wide range of applications. In particular, the book reviews size control synthesis techniques of nanostructured materials in different dimensions, size-dependent properties, and the relationship between material properties and performance. In addition, it discusses the use of upconversion materials for lasers, display, lighting, energy, and biomedical applications-with a focus on the use of these materials to develop more sustainable technologies. This resource is ideally suitable for new entrants in academia and R&D who have a scientific background in materials science and engineering, chemistry, and chemical engineering.
