An international team of scientists that includes
researchers from ITMO University has developed a new composite
material based on perovskite nanocrystals for the purpose of
creating miniature light sources with improved output capacity. The
introduction of perovskite nanocrystals into porous glass
microparticles made it possible to increase their operating time by
almost three times, and the subsequent coating of these particles
with polymers—to increase the stability of their optical properties
when underwater, which is especially important for the purposes of
creating light sources for application in biological media. The
results have been published in ChemNanoMat.
