Q: Where is the biggest advancement in the quantum dots market?
A: The biggest market opportunity for quantum dots is in sunlight harvesting, much bigger than displays or lighting because it requires a huge amount of material. Displays are a big and exciting market for quantum dots today, but they require a relatively small amount of material. A home might have a few TVs in it at the most, which each utilize about a gram of dots. That’s a few grams of dots per home. To power those displays and everything else in the home you might have solar cells covering the rooftop, and solar integrated into the windows. Then you are talking about hundreds of grams of quantum dots per home. So I think that the market for quantum dots in solar, both in terms of material amounts and sales is much bigger. To phrase it another way, the electricity requirements of modern civilization go far beyond displays. The beautiful thing about quantum dots is that we can use them to generate energy more effectively (solar), while also using that energy more efficiently (lighting and displays).
Q: Why should attends register to hear your presentation?
A: UbiQD is the closest quantum dot company to releasing solar products, by as early as next year. My talk will discuss our recent progress and plans. The solar product that we are developing is for windows is called a “luminescent solar concentrator”. Essentially its a quantum dot window tint that channels the sun’s energy through the window to a solar cell hidden in the frame. There are several markets for this technology, but ultimately we will to power the smart cities of the future with our products.

July 18, 2017
The key factors to build a smart city which is the urban centre of the future will be the use of smart materials with increasing levels of functionality and facilities. Smart materials find a wide range of applications due to their varied response to external events, and are able to create a sustainable environment which is an eco-friendly and energy efficient system. Currently advanced technologies related to materials are being investigated and developed to face many challenges and needs like longevity, cost, industrial probity, and so on. This will enable many solutions to problems related to smart cities.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
•Stimuli-responsive polymers
•Electro-responsive
•E-textiles, piezoelectric
•Smart composites
•Self-healing materials
•Shape memory materials: state-of-the-art research and applications
•Energy harvesting via smart materials
•New materials and methods for cultural heritage cleaning and preservation
•Quantum dots for transistors, solar cells, leds, diode lasers and medical imaging
•Energy harvesting
•Piezochromic
•Optical fibres
•Energy Saving Coating Technology (ESCT)
•Zero Energy Building (ZEB)
•Smart manufacturing
•Piezoelectric materials
•Intelligent systems, sensing and actuation, adaptive structures, and active control
