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.正在设计，工程，制造和提供各种照明**商业，医疗保健，教育和运输领域的产品。具有自定义指定光谱特性的新照明**设备的开发，包括光谱发电，颜色**温度和颜色渲染索引，可以使公司能够在全球市场获得巨大的竞争优势**。改善照明参数的可调节性不仅允许增长**市场段目前正在融合市场，而且还可以进入其他市场并创造新的机会。该提案的目的是**在滑铁卢大学的Metalumen和我的小组之间启动一个联合项目，以基于金属氧化物和碳**纳米颗粒开发新的可调，**有效的和环境良性的白光发射磷。随后，具有合适发射特性的纳米颗粒将用**选定的有机或无机二级荧光团功能化，以产生具有所需光谱**特征的白光发射。在项目的第二阶段，我们将探索将这些新的复合材料**单一发射磷光剂融入商业光的发射二极管的方法，这些磷光是Metalumen **产品的一部分。该项目将启动新产品系列，并吸引新客户对** Metalumen，这最终将导致在加拿大市场上创造新的就业机会。此外，没有稀土和有毒元素的新节能照明来源的**发展促进了加拿大社会的整体**可持续性。
