Light-Splitting Greenhouse Film Could Improve Photosynthetic Efficiency

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) engineers have received a $2.45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop a scalable, cost-effective greenhouse material that splits sunlight into photosynthetically efficient light and repurposes inefficient IR light to aid in solar-driven water purification. The thin engineered material is applied directly to the surface of greenhouse panels.
