The research progress of rare earth agricultural light conversion film
Abstract
The light-converting agricultural film is a new high-end functional film that can convert ultraviolet light and yellow-green light, which is harmful or useless to plant photosynthesis, into red-orange light or blue-violet light required for photosynthesis. The potential advantages of light-converting agricultural film in efficiently utilizing solar energy and improving crop yield have attracted more and more attention from researchers and agricultural enterprises.The light-converting function is realized by adding a light-converting agent to the agricultural film. Therefore, the preparation of light-converting agents with excellent performance is the core of the development and utilization of light-converting agricultural films. The paper firstly summarizes the key research and development in the field of agricultural light-converting films in china. Then this paper summarizes the classification of light-converting agents, research progress, and preparation methods. Finally, this paper predicts the future development trend of light-converting agricultural films, in order to provide a reference for the research and development of stable and efficient light-converting agricultural films.
