Summary
Carbon-free high temperature vacuum sintering facility. This facility will provide an extremely clean sintering environment for development of advanced materials free from imperfections for applications which range from energy conversion to medical components. It will ensure that Australia is an important international leader in both fundamental research and industrial innovation.
Towards energy-efficient lighting based on light-emitting diodes: the role of silicon carbide grown on Si Wafers. This project will investigate a potential solution to the problems of cost and quality of light-emitting diodes for solid-state lighting. The expected outcome is knowledge to underpin future development of solid-state lighting that is suitable for a wide replacement of the much less efficient and effective incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes.

Summary
Development of new chemically stable boron nitride-protected phosphor nanocomposites for white light-emitting diodes. White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are considered the key to next-generation solid-sate lighting. However, further advancements and the large-scale application of white LED innovation has been restricted by the efficiency of current red-emitting phosphors. Although alkaline earth sulphide (AES) red phosphor is a promising candidate for white LEDs, the low chemical stability of AE ....Development of new chemically stable boron nitride-protected phosphor nanocomposites for white light-emitting diodes. White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are considered the key to next-generation solid-sate lighting. However, further advancements and the large-scale application of white LED innovation has been restricted by the efficiency of current red-emitting phosphors. Although alkaline earth sulphide (AES) red phosphor is a promising candidate for white LEDs, the low chemical stability of AES hinders its utilisation. This project aims to develop new chemically stable boron nitride-protected AES phosphor nanocomposites for white LEDs. The expected outcomes will provide an effective strategy to overcome current phosphor stability problems, and will meet the urgent demand for superior red-emitting phosphors for white LED applications.Read moreRead less
