Spectral Design of Light-Emitting Diodes for Plant Photosynthesis Based on Quantum Dots

Light is one of the five indispensable factors for plant growth. Green houses and plant factories have advantages of growing vegetables off-season and high production. However, artificial lighting occupies most of the running cost during the operation of plant factories, and intelligent and programm...

description Light is one of the five indispensable factors for plant growth. Green houses and plant factories have advantages of growing vegetables off-season and high production. However, artificial lighting occupies most of the running cost during the operation of plant factories, and intelligent and programmable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been considered to be used as growing lamps to save energy.
