Nanoparticles Bolster Performance of LED Designs

Researchers have discovered that using nanoparticles strategically in LED designs enables the production of more light for the same energy as well as boosts their lifetime, providing benefits for the manufacturers and users of this technology.

A team from Imperial College of London and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati modeled the impact of placing a two-dimensional (2D, or single layer) of nanoparticles between the LED chip, which produces the light, and the transparent casing that protects it.
