The new coating absorbs blue light from the sun and converts it into red light, which enhances photosynthesis efficiency and improves crop yields without additional electricity.
Petra Cameron explains that, 'Our coating gives out red light, increasing the amount of visible light available to the plants for photosynthesis,' which enhances overall plant growth.
The research team emphasizes that their coating stands out because it converts 80% to 90% of UV light to red light while avoiding the use of rare earth metals.
The innovative coating also scatters light inside greenhouses, further benefiting plant growth and optimizing energy use in agricultural practices.
