For the first time, the number of #graphene patents exceeded #nanotubes in 2021! Carbon nanotubes always had the highest number of patents among different #nanomaterials in previous years. The third place belongs to #quantum_dots.
Carbon #quantum_dots functionalized with boronic acid ligands can interfere with the function of #coronavirus S protein and significantly inhibit its entry into the host cells.
The #quantum_dot #market will grow to 61.4 billion dollars with a growth rate of 61.4 % from 2019 to 2024. The largest demand in the market is for the #display and #monitor_devices.
Various manufacturers have commercially been producing #cadmium free #quantum_dots products because cadmium quantum dots may be banned in the near future in many countries.
#Quantum_dot #display #market was valued at US$1420 million in 2017 and projected to reach US$11000 million by 2025 at an #annual_growth_rate of 29 %.
