What other industries and uses are there for CHS?
There are many, and probably a few we have not thought of yet.
Semiconductor. Purity and yield are key performance criteria in semiconductors. Our molecule can deliver best-in-class purity based on Si6H12, and with six Si atoms per molecule, it can also deliver superior yield and productivity (meaning lower cost). There are other advantages in some semiconductor processing where there are needs for lower temperature conversion to pure silicon.
Solar: Performance can be improved using QDots (5-50nm Si nanoparticles). Si QDots have tunable bandgaps across a wide range of energy levels where light is captured or expelled by changing the dots' size. This property makes quantum dots attractive for multi-junction solar cells, where a variety of materials are used to improve efficiency by harvesting multiple portions of the solar spectrum, hence can improve a solar cell’s performance by as much as 10%.
Drug Delivery: Si QDots can carry pharmaceuticals / drugs and act as the delivery vehicle into the body. Their optical properties can be used to trace the accumulation of the drug in the specific areas of the body. This is of particular value in tracking the efficacy of the drugs used and can aid in the management of dosage.
LED: When an LED backlight hits a quantum dot, it glows. The size of the dot dictates the color—the biggest, at 5.5 nanometers, handle pure reds, smaller dots handle pure green, and the LED backlights handle the blues. In new TVs (Samsung's Q-Series), the quantum dots are arranged in a film that fills the screen. Once the backlight activates them, their light passes through the filters that render the colors you see watching the TV. This improves efficiency—instead of having to divide white light, which represents all the wavelengths of light, into precise colors, the filters in a quantum-dot set work with pristine colors and color hues. No light is wasted, resulting in brighter, more accurate colors. [b]This is expanded to LED displays, dashboards, computer screens, and signs. Innovation to sharper colors, brighter colored LEDs, and with less power – that is what is happening.
AS M. KRAFT SAYS , " THATS WHATS HAPPENING " AND I ADD THAT ITS GOING TO BE BIG VERY BIG!!
