Researchers Create Cheaper High Performing LED

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, residential LED lighting uses at least 75 percent less energy than regular incandescent lighting.
“If you can get a low cost, high performing LED, everyone will go for it,” Ma said. “For industry, our approach has a big advantage in that earth abundant materials can be processed in an economic way to make the products.”
Gao and Ma came to FSU as part of the Energy and Materials Strategic Initiative with the mission of producing high tech materials for new generation, energy sustainable technology. By chance, they wound up with offices next to each other and began collaborating.
They also work with Assistant Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Zhibin Yu, who also focuses on LED technology research, as well as Assistant Professor of Chemistry Kenneth Hanson, who is a co-author on this current paper.
“Gao and Ma, as well as Ken Hanson, are members of a cohort of 11 new faculty hires in the Energy and Materials Strategic Hiring Initiative,” said Associate Vice President for Research W. Ross Ellington. “The present work, as well as other recent, joint publications, indicates that the desired synergies are being achieved in this effort.”
In addition to Gao and Ma, other FSU researchers involved with the experiments are Hanson, post-doctoral research associates Yichuan Ling and Zhao Yuan, and graduate students Yu Tian, Xi Wang and Jamie C. Wang.
