Nanomaterials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm, with a range of useful properties, including optical and electronic. Quantum dots, a subclass of nanomaterial, have size-dependent optical and electronic properties. Nanoco's CFQD® quantum dots are free of cadmium and other toxic heavy metals, and can be tuned to emit light at different wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for a wide range of display applications. Nanoco's HEATWAVE™ quantum dots can be tuned to absorb light at different wavelengths across the near-infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for applications including cameras and image sensors.
