Batería de Aluminio-Aire que permite una autonomía en vehículos
eléctricos de más de 1600 Km
Publicada en www.extremetech.com, 27/03/2015.
Phinergy, an Israeli startup, has demonstrated an aluminium-air battery that is
capable of powering an electric vehicle for up to 1,000 miles (1,609km). Unlike
other metal-air batteries that we’ve written about in the past, such as IBM’s
lithium-air battery, Phinergy’s Al-air battery actually consumes aluminium as a
fuel, allowing for an energy density that far surpasses conventional battery
technologies and even begins to rival gas and diesel. Phinergy says it has signed
a contract with a global automaker for “production volumes” of the battery,
starting in 2017.

Las baterías eléctricas son más baratas que según las
proyecciones para 2020
Publicada en www.carbonbrief.org, 23/03/2015.
The cost of electric vehicle battery packs is falling so rapidly they are probably
already cheaper than expected for 2020, according to a new study in Nature
Climate Change. Electric vehicles remain more expensive than combustionengine equivalents, largely because of battery costs. In 2013 the International
Energy Agency (IEA) estimated cost-parity could be reached in 2020, with
battery costs reaching $300 per kilowatt hour of capacity.But market-leading
firms were probably already producing cheaper batteries last year, says today's
new research. It says its figures are "two to four times lower than many recent
peer-reviewed papers have suggested".

Los tejados de nuevos edificios comerciales en Francia deberán
tener plantas o paneles solares
Publicada en www.digitaltrends.com, 21/03/2015.
Rooftops in France are about to get a whole lot greener, thanks to a new law
requiring rooftops on new buildings constructed in commercial zones to be
partially covered in plants or solar panels. The law, approved by French
Parliament on Thursday, was less comprehensive than the original demands by
French environmental activists, who wanted to require completely green rooftops
on all new buildings. The government convinced activists to scale back the reach
of the law to only commercial buildings, as well as requiring only part of rooftops
to be covered with plants or solar panels, according to Agence France-Presse.

Reino Unido: "Nuestro Centro de Innovación Urbana es un paso
hacia la construcción de mejores ciudades"
Publicada en www.theguardian.com, 17/03/2015.
The future of cities is full of possibility – and uncertainty. Getting it right is more
than a matter of luck. Your future city could be one where shared, on-demand
autonomous vehicles halve the number of vehicles on the road, without crashes
and with quieter streets and cleaner air; where cleaning robots diligently polish
photovoltaic cells on the 16th floor of tower blocks engulfed in greenery; and
where robot builders rapidly throw together elegant buildings made of crosslaminated timber, each sinuous slab tracked back to the forest it grew in.Or, as
author Marc Goodman points out in his new book, Future Crimes, our future
cities could be ones where these same dynamics trample over privacy, ethics
and local cultural differences. Where fast-failing systems backed by venture
capitalists leach value from urban economies; where automation halves the
number of jobs available to humans; and where surveillance-driven governance
replaces open, deliberative policy and planning.

Informe sobre el hogar conectado: Tendencias de futuro en los
mercados del 'Internet de las cosas'
Publicada en www.businessinsider.com, 16/03/2015.
Homes around the world are going to become smarter and more connected over
the next five years. Overall, a fair number of mainstream consumers still don't
fully understand what connected-home devices are and how they work, and so
demand hasn't reached its full potential. However, adoption and awareness is still
high for such a new category. We expect the devices to become more prevalent
in the next two years, when growth will peak. In a recent report on the connected
home, BI Intelligence takes a closer look at this market, and forecasts shipments
and revenue growth for connected-home devices over the next five years. We
also examine current consumer sentiment about these new devices, the potential
opportunities and barriers the Internet of Things will face on its way to
mainstream adoption, and the leading companies currently in the market.

"Eficiencia Energética no es sólo ahorrar energía": Harry Verhaar,
Philips Lighting
Publicada en www.theclimategroup.org, 12/03/2015.
After the publication of the 2015 Energy Productivity and Economic Prosperity
Index, authored by The Lisbon Council, Ecofys and Quintel Intelligence and
commissioned by Philips, we interviewed Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public &
Government Affairs, Philips Lighting, about the specific role of energy efficiency
and the future of the lighting sector. The 2015 Energy Productivity and Economic
Prosperity Index report, which Philips commissioned, highlights that 98% of all
energy produced globally is wasted through inefficiency. How energy efficient is
the lighting sector?
Take the classic example of the incandescent light bulb. Only 5% of the
electricity it consumes turns into light. But taking the whole energy chain into
account, from energy generation to the actual service, the average productivity of
an incandescent light bulb is only 1%.

Los cuatro principales argumentos en contra del coche eléctrico y
en qué se equivocan
Publicada en http://www.fool.com, 08/03/2015.
Here are the facts: Americans have purchased more than 290,000 electric
vehicles since the end of 2010, when the Electric cars have been around for
more than a century, and optimists have predicted their dominance for nearly as
long. So far, those predictions have been very wrong. Is it really different this
time?. Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) Leaf became the first "affordable" EV to
ply American roadways since General Motors (NYSE: GM ) discontinued its
infamous EV1. Nearly 140,000 of those vehicles have been battery-only,
eschewing any combustion engine for a ride powered exclusively by electricity.

Ropa generadora de energía podria reemplazar baterías en
dispositivos wearables
Publicada en Phys.org_Light emitting diode, 04/03/2015.
From light-up shoes to smart watches, wearable electronics are gaining traction
among consumers, but these gadgets' versatility is still held back by the stiff,
short-lived batteries that are required. These limitations, however, could soon be
overcome. In the journal ACS Nano, scientists report the first durable, flexible
cloth that harnesses human motion to generate energy. It can also self-charge
batteries or supercapacitors without an external power source and make new
commercial and medical applications possible.

Nuevos estándares de equipamiento para iluminación de carreteras
y áreas en EE.UU.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has recently published two new standards for Roadways
and Area Lighting Equipment. The first is ANSI C136.16-2014 American National Standard for Roadway and Area
Lighting Equipment—Enclosed, Post Top-mounted Luminaires. This standard is useful to roadway and area lighting
manufacturers, municipalities, and utilities; and provides requirements to allow for the interchangeability of enclosed,
post top-mounted luminaires.ANSI C136.16 was developed by ANSI Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) 136. It
covers dimensional, maintenance, and light distribution features that permit the interchange of enclosed, post topmounted high-intensity discharge lamps, solid-state light sources (i.e., light-emitting diode), compact fluorescent
lamps, and induction luminaires whose center of mass is approximately over the mounting tenon.

LEDs eficientes enérgicamente podrían aliviar el Smog de China
A mother’s “personal grudge” against China’s haze issues gave birth to the
trending environmental documentary 'China's Haze: Under the Dome.’ The
country’s serious air pollution became very personal for former State TV Reporter
Chai Jing, when she became pregnant with her daughter. Concerned about her
daughter’s health, the former environmental issue investigative reporter probed
into the causes behind China’s serious air pollution. The documentary has gone
viral online and has received more than millions of views on major online video
websites. The video might be forgotten by the masses within a week, but the
hazards of smog will not simply drift away. Environmental friendly LEDs just
might offer a solution to China’s thick haze.

Instalaciones Solares en la India alcanzan los 883 MW en 2014 (un
12% menos que el año anterior)
Publicada en Global Solar Technology_ Industry News, 03/03/2015.
Indian solar installations in calendar year 2014 totaled 883 MW, down 12 percent compared to 1,004 MW installed in
2013. Mercom’s 2015 forecast is unchanged at approximately 1,800 MW with some upside. The Indian solar industry
remains positive as solar programs are being announced with increased frequency and the installation goal continues
to grow. The 100 GW solar installation goal set recently by the Modi government has thrilled the sector, but the
industry is pragmatic and realizes that while 100 GW looks great on paper, the last five years have resulted in only
3,000 MW in solar installations, with last year’s installations at less than 1 GW. “Most of the industry is confused as
they are constantly bombarded with new policies, goals, drafts and revisions,” commented Raj Prabhu, CEO and CoFounder of Mercom Capital Group. “The last time the National Solar Mission (NSM) conducted a solar auction was in
October 2013 - the industry just wants to see execution.” “The two most impactful steps the government can take to
help the solar industry take off and bring substantial investments into the sector would be to: 1) fix the financial health
of DISCOM’s [utilities] and thereby improve the credit rating of offtakers, and 2) classify ‘renewables’ as a priority
lending sector in India, making more funds available for solar,” continued Prabhu.

Ecobuild: La Energía Solar se incluirá en el programa de eficiencia
energética del Reino Unido
Publicada en PV Magazine, 03/03/2015.
U.K. Energy Secretary Ed Davey called for bolder solar PV targets as a part of the Green Deal. Davey made his
remarks while delivering the Ecobuild keynote speech today in London, clearly enunciating part of his party's 2015
General Election campaign. The context for Energy Secretary Ed Davey’s remarks on solar PV, delivered today at
Ecobuild, was as the U.K.'s current and future energy efficiency policies. The energy efficiency market, said Davey,
has changed in nature, developing many more aspects than purely providing insulation for homes. It now includes all
technologies concerning the various ways to reduce homes energy needs and also generate energy on site. Thus,
the current energy efficiency policy framework is to include various tools such as solar PV feed-in tariffs (FITs) and
renewable heat incentives.

Ingeniero Industrial de la Universidad pública de Navarra desarrolla
un modelo que podría ayudar a aumentar la Eficiencia Energética
Publicada en Google noticias, 02/03/2015.
Iñigo de la Parra Laita, an industrial engineer of the NUP/UPNA-Public University of Navarre, has focussed his PhD
thesis on the grid integration of large photovoltaic power stations. Among the contributions of his research he has
developed a model that has been patented and which is capable of simulating fluctuations in photovoltaic power. As
he explains, “just by knowing the irradiance recorded in one spot, the number of grouped power stations and the
average surface area they occupy, we can simulate what fluctuations may take place in photovoltaic power". Right
now, one of the problems the operator is facing is the impossibility of knowing the power variations that may take
place in different points of the system in which various photovoltaic power stations converge. “To find out this
information one could fit power loggers at all the stations, but that is a very costly solution and, what is more, difficult
because the power stations tend to have different owners”.

Mayor concienciación sobre el Hogar Inteligente pero no para

Publicada en CePro, 02/03/2015.
By Jason Knott, March 02, 2015. Did the custom electronics industry sign up for
a life-long membership in the federal witness protection program? Is recognition
for this industry buried with Jimmy Hoffa? Yet another study has been released
that unveils the obscurity of the industry, despite the growing popularity of smart
home systems. This is the same mantra that has been repeated over the past
decades about “hot” technologies such as home theater, audio systems, flat
panel TVs and home automation.According to a new study from Parks
Associates entitled “Key Competitive Elements for Smart Home Service
Providers,” three out of every four U.S. broadband households has absolutely no
idea whatsoever where to turn to get a “smart home system” installed. Likewise,
about 70 percent of consumers have no idea where to purchase a “smart home
system.”

Un desgolse de los retos que supone el IoT (infografia)
Publicada en MEDCity News, 02/03/2015.
It’s National Consumer Protection Week, so an infographic by Laird Technologies
highlighting some of the security challenges with the Internet of Things seems
appropriate. The infographic highlights both consumer technologies such as
fitness wearables and apps that connect to homes to do tasks such as remotely
adjusting home thermostats and enterprise technology, such as medical devices
that can be located and tracked.Connecting, authenticating and securing Internet
of Things communications is critical to prevent untrusted devices from gaining
access. Another challenge is the need for alternative distributed computing
models to handle the high volume of data. Earlier this year a Federal Trade
Commission report called for tougher laws to shore up consumer privacy and
security concerns they identified with The Internet of Things. It called for device
developers do a better job of building security into their devices from the start. It
also recommended that companies consider measures to keep unauthorized
users from accessing a consumer’s device, data, or personal information stored
on the network.

Un gran salto en tecnología OLED
Publicada en Phys.org_Light emitting diode, 02/03/2015.
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are made from carbon-containing
materials, have the potential to revolutionize future display technologies, making
low-power displays so thin they'll wrap or fold around other structures, for
instance.Conventional LCD displays must be backlit by either fluorescent light
bulbs or conventional LEDs whereas OLEDs don't require back lighting. An even
greater technological breakthrough will be OLED-based laser diodes, and
researchers have long dreamed of building organic lasers, but they have been
hindered by the organic materials' tendency to operate inefficiently at the high
currents required for lasing.

El coche no tripulado de Google puede incorporar airbags por fuera
para protejer a los peatones
Publicada en www.qz.com, 25/03/2015.
Most cars have airbags that are designed to protect passengers in a crash, but
Google’s driverless cars may go a step further, with airbags designed to protect
nearby pedestrians.Google is working on a driverless car that already has spent
countless test hours learning the rules of the road. In a new patent awarded
today to Google today (March 24), the company outlined a system for external
airbags and bumpers that could deploy in the event of an accident. One idea
suggested in the patent is to mount airbags on the outside of the cars, to create a
buffer for pedestrians. These airbags would deploy when the car senses that a
collision with another vehicle is imminent.

Los principales rivales de Tesla en almacenamiento de energía
Publicada en www.marketwatch.com, 19/03/2015.
By ClaudiaAssis Energy reporter SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—Tesla
Motors Inc. may be taking its time to become a virtual power plant offering
batteries to home and businesses, but that doesn’t mean investors with an eye
on the sector have to wait. Storage is widely viewed as a key to more widespread
use of renewable energy. Batteries could pick up where renewables sometimes
leave off—the sun does not always shine, and the wind does not always blow.
What many fail to take into account, however, is that storage already plays a role
in our century-old power grid. Companies big and small, old and new have
waded into the arena of energy storage. Storage smooths out fluctuations in the
grid and decouples generation and consumption, said Matt Roberts, executive
director of the Energy Storage Association. It helps the grid run more efficiently
and more cheaply.The power grid is finicky—tiny fluctuations in frequency, for
instance, can make transformers explode. And then there are fluctuations in
demand—such as those caused by a heat wave, or the evening spike as more
people flip their switches.

General Electric lanza luminarias LED para dormir mejor
GE Lighting’s new Align™ technology harnesses the power of lighting to help regulate melatonin, the “sleep
hormone”, production, promoting the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. An estimated 50-70 million Americans suffer
from chronic sleep issues, according to the National Institute of Health. In honor of National Sleep Awareness Week,
GE Lighting has developed a light bulb to help promote the body’s natural sleep cycle; GE Align™ lighting is available
on Amazon.com. “Aren’t we all tuned to the good feelings on a bright and sunny day, or the feelings we have on a
gloomy day? Light impacts not only our mood and wellness, but our ability to fall asleep,” says Dr. Gary Allen,
Physicist, LED Innovations Principal Engineer at GE Lighting. “By changing the timing, amount, spectral quality of
light exposure, we can avoid disrupting the body’s natural circadian rhythms.”

High-efficiency luminescent solar concentrators for flexible
waveguiding photovoltaics
Publicada en Science Direct, 18/03/2015.
Here we present a new concept on lightweight and mechanically flexible high-performance waveguiding photovoltaics
through the fabrication of cylindrical luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) of commercial poly(methyl
methacrylate)-based plastic optical fibers coated with an Eu3+-doped organic–inorganic hybrid layer. Our optimized
fiber LSC displays an effective optical conversion efficiency of 20.7±1.3% and a power conversion efficiency of
2.5±0.2% in the absorbing spectral region of the active layer (300–380 nm), values that are among the larger ones
reported so far for UV-absorbing devices. Moreover, the measured optical conversion efficiency was used to
calculate the self-absorption and transport efficiencies of the LSCs yielding values close to the unit. Conventional
LSCs are usually made of rigid glass or plastics with limited flexibility, hampering its applicability. The approach
proposed here might then open new opportunities for cost-effective sunlight collection and wearable solar-harvesting
fabrics for mobile energy with negligible self-absorption and transport losses.

Short-term smart learning electrical load prediction algorithm for
home energy management systems
Publicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 11/03/2015.
Energy management system (EMS) within buildings has always been one of the main approaches for an automated
demand side management (DSM). These energy management systems are supposed to increase load flexibility to fit
more the generation from renewable energies and micro co-generation devices. For EMS to operate efficiently, it
must learn ahead about the available supply and demand so that it can work on supply–demand matching and
minimizing the imports from the grid and running costs. This article presents a simple efficient day-ahead electrical
load prediction approach for any EMS. In comparison to other approaches, the presented algorithm was designed to
be apart of any generic EMS and it does not require to be associated with a prepared statistical or historical
databases, or even to get connected to any kinds of sensors. The proposed algorithm was tested over the data of 25
households in Austria and the results have shown an error range that goes down to 8.2% as an initial prediction.

Single layer deep blue polymer light emitting diodes with
chlorinated Indium Tin Oxide after surface modification for high
performance
Publicada en ScienceDirect_LED, 06/03/2015.
Chlorinated-Indium Tin Oxide (Cl-ITO) has been found to have higher work
function than the pristine ITO. When used as anode for polymer light-emitting
diodes (PLEDs) with deep blue emitting -phase poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene) (PFO) as the emitting layer, it allows hole injection without barrier. However, the
presence of chlorine free radical on the surface of Cl-ITO leads to an exciton
quenching effect. The surface modification on anode by dipping into 1%
ammonium (NH4OH) aqueous solution to remove free chlorine radicals on
surface can enhance device performance significantly. The single layer device
Cl-ITO (treated)/-PFO/CsF/Al gives the maximum brightness 16773 cd/m2 and
maximum luminance efficiency 2.40 cd/A, which are higher than those with
untreated Cl-ITO, (2519; 0.27) and CFx treated ITO, (7800; 1.8) and
PEDOT:PSS coated ITO, (12884; 1.43). The ease of the present anode
treatment allows the one-layer-only device to be a promising candidate for
practical application.

A room-temperature process for fabricating a nano-Pt counter
electrode on a plastic substrate for efficient dye-sensitized cells
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 04/03/2015.
We present a method for depositing polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped platinum nanoparticles (PVP-nPt) on a plastic
substrate as the counter electrode (CE) for dye-sensitized cells. This method was implemented using a modified twostep dip-coating process performed under ambient conditions. In particular, a short UV-ozone exposure period was
adopted to replace conventional annealing, rendering the whole process feasible for plastic substrates. The
surfactant required for deposition was confirmed by analyzing a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum;
however, we discovered that the surfactant jeopardized charge transfer between the PVP-nPt CE and the substrate.
Furthermore, the UV-ozone treatment efficiently decomposed the surfactant, and the electrochemical-catalytic
property improved considerably. When the CE was combined with a dye-sensitized photoanode fabricated on a
plastic substrate, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) reached 6.24%. To further prove that the PCE is limited by
the plastic photoanode instead of the proposed plastic PVP-nPt CE, a photoanode fabricated on FTO glass and the
proposed plastic PVP-nPt CE with a PCE of 8.80% was demonstrated. Finally, thermal aging (conducted at 60 °C,
1000 h) test on this device indicated excellent durability, and the PCE was only 1% lower than its initial value.

Control and synchronization algorithms for a grid-connected
photovoltaic system under harmonic distortions, frequency
variations and unbalances
Publicada en Science Direct_Publicaciones Fotovoltaica, 04/03/2015.
In this paper, an implementation of the control and the synchronization algorithms for a Voltage Source Inverter used
as the power conditioner for Photovoltaic renewable energy in a grid-connected structure is carried out. Its main
purpose is to show, in a simple manner, the design and combined operation of the control and synchronization
algorithms for attaining the proper behaviour of the Grid Inverter when the 3-phase utility grid is disturbed by voltage
unbalances, frequency variations and harmonic distortions, according to power quality standards. In order to obtain a
high efficiency of the system during perturbations, a Proportional Resonant controller with a Harmonic Compensator
structure is designed for the control algorithm, whereas a Dual Second Order Generalized Integrator FrequencyLocked Loop (DSOGI-FLL) is used as the synchronization algorithm. In order to validate both the control and the
synchronization algorithms, some simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK from The MathWorks, Inc. are shown firstly,
and secondly, some real-time digital simulations are carried out.

Growth and characterization of phosphor-free white light-emitting
diodes based on InGaN blue quantum wells and green–yellow
quantum dots
Phosphor-free white light-emitting diodes consisting of 4 layers of InGaN/GaN quantum dots and 4 layers of quantum
wells have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. A white emission was demonstrated under
electrical injection by mixing the green–yellow light from quantum dots and the blue light from quantum wells. At the
injection current of 5 mA, the electroluminescence peak wavelengths of quantum dots and quantum wells were 548
nm and 450 nm, respectively, resulting in the color-rendering index Ra of 62. As the injection current increased, a
faster emission enhancement of quantum well and an emission blue shift of the quantum dots were observed, which
led to the decrease of Ra.

Improved light outcoupling of organic light-emitting diodes by
randomly embossed nanostructure
In this paper, we proposed a very economical and simple method to fabricate the randomly structured organic light
emitting diode (OLED) to enhance light outcoupling efficiency. The random pattern is obtained by directly spin-coating
the mixture solution of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres and PEDOT:PSS on an ITO/glass substrate and then removing
PS nanospheres. The results demonstrate that using such a randomly embossed PEDOT:PSS as the hole injection
layer in Alq3-based OLED produces the maximum current efficiency of 3.34 cd/A with the enhancement factor of
18.0% and the maximum power efficiency of 2.16 lm/W with the enhancement factor of 67.9% compared with the
typical planar Alq3-based OLED (with no PEDOT:PSS layer). On one hand, the enhanced efficiency is associated
with the enhanced injection/transport of holes. On the other hand, the enhanced efficiency is also attributed to the
extraction of some trapped optical modes over a broad range of wavelengths. This work offers a promising method
for the fabrication of high performance, low-cost and large area OLEDs.

Solution processed multi-color organic light emitting diodes for
application in telecommunications
In this work we present an all solution processing scheme for the fabrication of
the three primary colors, (R–G–B), emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)
via efficient color tuning of a blue organic semiconducting (OSC) thin film, in
particular the poly[9,9-di-(2-ethylhexyl)fluorenyl-2,7-diyl] (PF), in which different
color fluorescent emitters are dispersed to define the final emitting color and thus
to simplify the different color device fabrication. The transmission speed of the
fabricated OLEDs was also examined for possible application in interactive
telecommunications. To increase the response speed of the different color
devices we altered both the device geometry and the electron injection efficiency.
To this end we increased the emissive layer thickness and decreased the device
emissive area and we also performed engineering of the cathode interfaces
through the incorporation of solution processed porphyrin interlayers in order to
lower the electron injection barrier height. The final devices exhibited improved
operational characteristics and, consequently, modulation speeds.

Occupant Centered Lighting Control for Comfort and Energy
Efficient Building Operation
Publicada en ScienceDirect_Publications, 03/03/2015.
We present an adaptive control strategy for lighting control in office spaces, with
the aim to reduce energy consumption and provide occupant comfort. Based on
the premise that each occupant is unique, yet consistent in his actions, the setpoints for switching the artificial lights on and off are derived dynamically from
statistical analysis of the occupancy sensor data, and from interaction with the
occupant. We present a 6-week case study in 10 offices, where we achieved
37.9% and 73.2% energy savings compared to a standard setting control
baseline and a worst-case scenario, respectively. We show that individual offices
determine individual set-points and discuss their adaptive nature.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of NaLa(MoO4)2xAGx:Eu3+
(AG=SO42, BO33) red phosphors for white light emitting diodes
NaLa(MoO4)2x(SO4)x:Eu3+ and NaLa(MoO4)2x(BO3)x:Eu3+ red phosphors, are prepared by a high temperature
solid state reaction. These doubled molybdate phosphors have scheelite isostructure, which hardly be affected by
SO42 and BO33 partial substitution for MoO42. Infrared spectra of obtained phosphors show strong absorption peaks
between 1000 and 1300 cm1 which are assigned to the vibration of O–S in SO42 groups and O–B in BO33 groups.
Due to the 5D0 7F1–3 transitions of Eu3+ ions, photoluminescence spectra show a strong red emission at 618 nm
under excitation of near UV light at 395 nm and blue light at 465 nm, respectively. The luminescent intensity of
NaLa(MoO4)2x(SO4)x:Eu3+ and NaLa(MoO4)2x(BO3)x:Eu3+ are obviously improved comparing with those of
NaLa(MoO4)2:Eu3+ and commercial red phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ by several times. And the lifetime values of
NaLa(MoO4)2xAGx:Eu3+ with SO42 and BO33 substitution are extended to 0.461 ms and 0.468 ms from 0.459 ms
of NaLa(MoO4)2:Eu3+, respectively.

include regulations such as Commercial Buildings Initiatives(CBI) by the U.S. government which aims at making all
commercial buildings completely energy independent till 2025. This implies that commercial buildings should have
facilities to generate onsite power. Energy efficiency has become the need of the hour as it is expected that energy
demand would increase by 40% between 2010 and 2040. The key restraint for the growth is the high upfront
investment that is required for well-integrated smart technologies. Perceived value versus the cost issue is still a
