Metalumen Manufacturing Inc. is designing, engineering, manufacturing, and supplying various lighting**products for commercial, health care, educational, and transportation sectors. The development of new lighting**devices with custom specified spectral characteristics, including spectral power distribution, colour**temperature, and colour rendering index, could enable the company to gain significant competitive advantage**in the global market. Improvement in the tunability of the lighting parameters will not only allow for growing**the market segments Metalumen is currently in, but also entering other markets and creating new opportunities.**However, the construction of tunable white-light-emitting phosphors remains challenging and costly because of**the difficulties in obtaining multi-colour emission in the desired proportion. The purpose of this proposal is to**launch a joint project between Metalumen and my group at the University of Waterloo to develop new tunable,**efficient, and environmentally benign white-light-emitting phosphors based on metal oxide and carbon**nanoparticles. The nanoparticles with suitable emission properties will subsequently be functionalized with**selected organic or inorganic secondary fluorophores to generate white light emission with desired spectral**characteristics. In the second stage of the project we will explore the ways to incorporate these new composite**single white-light-emitting phosphors into commercial light emitting diodes that are a part of the Metalumen's**products. This project will enable the initiation of a new line of products and attraction of new customers to**Metalumen, which will ultimately result in the creation of new jobs on the Canadian market. Furthermore, the**development of new energy-efficient lighting sources free of rare-earth and toxic elements promotes the overall**sustainability in the Canadian society.

Metalumen Manufacturing Inc. 为商业、医疗保健、教育和运输行业设计、工程、制造和供应各种照明**产品。开发具有定制指定光谱特性（包括光谱功率分布、色温和显色指数）的新型照明**设备，可以使公司在全球市场上获得显着的竞争优势**。照明参数可调性的改进不仅可以促进Metalumen当前所处的细分市场的增长，而且还可以进入其他市场并创造新的机会。**然而，可调谐白光发射荧光粉的构建仍然具有挑战性并且成本高昂，因为**难以获得所需比例的多色发射。该提案的目的是**启动 Metalumen 和我在滑铁卢大学的团队之间的联合项目，开发基于金属氧化物和碳**纳米颗粒的新型可调谐、**高效且环保的白光荧光粉。具有合适发射特性的纳米颗粒随后将用选定的有机或无机二次荧光团进行功能​​化，以产生具有所需光谱特性的白光发射。在该项目的第二阶段，我们将探索如何将这些新型复合**单一白光发射磷光体融入商业发光二极管中，该二极管是 Metalumen **产品的一部分。该项目将启动新产品线并吸引新客户加入**Metalumen，最终将在加拿大市场创造新的就业机会。此外，不含稀土和有毒元素的新型节能照明光源的开发促进了加拿大社会的整体可持续性。
