The Pixelligent nanocrystals are made from highly stable metal oxides, which enable us to produce some of the most robust nanocomposites. This means that these nanocrystals are not a source of heavy metal ion pollution (unlike CdSe, CdS, PbSe, etc.). Unlike other nanotechnology manufacturing processes, Pixelligent uses a liquid synthesis production process where the nanocrystals are chemically bonded in the dispersions we ship to our customers, as well as in the nanocomposite final product. Perhaps the most important “clean tech” aspect of our nanocrystals, is that the applications we enable and dramatically improve have the potential to deliver energy savings, prolonged product life, and products that are better for the environment and workers.
