Quantum Materials Corporation Subsidiary Solterra Implements High Volume Quantum Dot Manufacturing Plan


Industrial scale amounts of quantum dots necessary to support emerging solar cell, lighting, and optoelectronic technologies


TEMPE, Ariz., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quantum Materials Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: QTMM) (formerly Hague Corporation) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc., has entered into a process development agreement with a consortium of advanced chemistry companies in the Netherlands to validate high volume production methods for its proprietary low cost, high quality tetrapod quantum dots. This agreement is the product of the MOU that Solterra, FutureChemistry and Flowid signed in 2009, defining a collective output goal that supports daily production amounts that had previously taken months or possibly years to produce.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100422/NY91338LOGO )

The continuous flow chemistry technology developed by the consortium, consisting of FutureChemistry Holding BV and Flowid BV, enables rapid assessment of input parameters to control output characteristics of the quantum dots and high parallel capacity for increased production. The unique properties of flow chemistry offer unprecedented control over the chemical manufacturing process. This tight quality control enables the quantum dots to be used in specific technology applications where the unique behavior of the quantum dots can be harnessed. Together, FutureChemistry and Flowid, both pioneers of continuous flow chemistry and on the forefront of the "lab to factory" concept, provide the expertise necessary to find optimal process conditions and subsequently scale the synthesis of the quantum dots to necessary levels. With larger quantities of quantum dots, Solterra will be enabled to pursue its near-term goal of reaching one Gigawatt of solar cell production.

Solterra's vision to significantly increase available solar energy generation and to bring low cost quantum dots to the LED, display, broader optoelectronic and biomedical research markets is enhanced by this project. Significantly increased production volumes will enable the Company to readily enter developing technology markets that will come to rely on a steady stream of affordable, high quality quantum dots.

Research Director of FutureChemistry Pieter Nieuwland explains about continuous flow chemistry: "Testing new chemical reactions is often performed in a traditional way: step by step. With the technology of FutureChemistry and Flowid, these reactions become full-continuous processes that we can optimize with our software and translate to much larger reactors. This project will be an exciting showcase for flow chemistry, and it will prove that the technology is now reaching maturity."

Stephen Squires, Chief Executive Officer of Solterra, commented, "We are very pleased with this collaboration and are eagerly looking forward to fruitful efforts with both FutureChemistry and Flowid. Their leading edge work essentially allows the Company to overcome barriers to entry of high volume, high tech markets. The imminent ability to sell stand alone quantum dots in large quantities at attractive pricing into various markets, while continuing to develop breakthrough solar cell technology, undoubtedly will generate significant revenue for Solterra, Quantum Materials Corporation and its shareholders."

Quantum Materials Corp. (OTCQB:QTMM) (“QMC”) is a nanotechnology
company specializing in the design, development, production and
supply of nanomaterials, including quantum dots (“QDs”), tetrapod
quantum dots (“TQDs”), and other nanoparticles for a range of
applications in televisions, displays and other optoelectronics,
photovoltaics, solid state lighting, life sciences, security ink, battery, and
sensor sectors of the market. Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. is a
wholly owned operating subsidiary of QMC that is focused on the
photovoltaic (solar cell) market (“Solterra”).
QDs are nanoscale semiconductor crystals typically between 10 and 100
atoms in diameter. Approximately 10,000 would fit across the diameter
of a human hair. Their small size makes it possible for them to exhibit
certain quantum mechanical properties. QDs emit either photons or
electrons when excited. In the case of photons, the wavelength (color)
of light emitted varies depending on the size of the quantum dot. As
such, the photonic emissions can be tuned by the creation of QDs of
different sizes. Their unique properties as highly efficient, next
generation semiconductors have led to the use of QDs in a range of
electronic and other applications, in the biomedical, display, and lighting
industries. QDs also have applications in solar cells, where their
characteristics enable conversion of light energy into electricity with the
potential for significantly higher efficiencies and lower costs than
existing technologies, thereby creating the opportunity for a step
change in the solar energy industry through the use of QDs in printed
photovoltaic cells.
QDs were first discovered in the early 1980s and the industry has
developed to the point where QDs are now being used in an increasing
range of applications, including the television and display industries, the
light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting (also known as solid-state lighting)
industry, and the biomedical industry. LG, Samsung, and other
companies, have recently launched new televisions using QDs to
enhance the picture color quality and power efficiency. A number of
major lighting companies are developing product applications using QDs
to create a more natural light for LEDs. The biomedical industry is using
QDs in diagnostic and therapeutic applications; and such applications
are being developed to print highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells in
mass quantities at a low cost.
A key challenge for the quantum dot industry has been and may
continue to be its ability to scale up production volumes sufficiently to
meet growing demand for QDs while maintaining product quality and

consistency and reducing the overall costs of supply to stimulate new
applications. QDs remain an extremely expensive commodity. A number
of recent market research reports have forecasted rapid growth of the
QD market, including “Quantum Dot Market by Product (Display,
Medical Devices, Batteries, Solar Cells, Sensors, and Others), Material,
Application (Healthcare, Consumer, Defense, and Industry), and
Geography - Forecast up to 2020” published by MarketsandMarkets in
January 2015 which states “The quantum dot market is estimated to
reach $4,704.86 million by 2020, at a CAGR of 63.61% from 2014 to
2020.” Also published in January 2015, Touch Display Research
forecasts, “The quantum dot display and lighting component market will
surpass $2 billion by 2016 and reach $10.6 billion by 2025.”

Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
In the past year, the Company has entered into an increased number of
non-disclosure agreements (“NDAs”) and sample supply agreements
(“Sample Agreements”) with product manufacturers in different
industries as well as universities and independent research laboratories.
In most cases, the NDAs with manufacturers are for exploring joint
development of specific products in the liquid crystal display (LCD),
light-emitting diode (LED), and solid state lighting industries. Other
areas of activity include uses in the life sciences, solar cells, and anticounterfeiting.
The focus of the Company is on those sectors of the
market in which utilization of QDs will have a transformational effect on
the quality of end use products and their performance.
The Company believes that its advantages in delivery of high quality,
high performance QDs, including its revolutionary QDX™ Quantum Dots
and TQDs, its patented continuous production techniques, and its
licensed screen printing techniques, make it an attractive supplier to
these markets.
Shipping Samples to Potential Customers
As a result of QMC’s automated production system, QMC has increased
their rate of shipping samples to potential customers. To QMC’s
knowledge, these shipments represent the first shipments of
automated production as opposed to manual “batch” production. QMC
believes their volume production process assures customers that QMC
can deliver high volumes of quantum dots for industrial use and the
ability to quickly expand capacity when needed. The Company has
stated the current price of quantum dots is ~$200 per gram. Thus, with
over 2.25 metric tons of capacity, QMC believes it has the ability to
generate north of $400M in revenue with their current production
capacity. Industries or uses intended, include televisions and displays,
solid state lighting, biotech, anti-counterfeiting, batteries and
capacitors, sensors, solar panels, paint and coatings, inks, hydrogen
conversion, glass, and lasers.
For the most part, QMC’s shipments of samples are to customers’
specifications. For others, these samples are shipments for evaluation
for secondary purposes as they collaborate toward the development of
potential customers’ specific quantum dot enabled product. QMC has
an attractive pipeline of potential customers and partners that
continues to expand to provide the Company with opportunities for
growth. These potential customers require a broad range of
nanomaterials from QMC’s state-of-the-art, high heat tolerant,
moisture, and oxygen resistant cadmium-free green QDXTM Quantum

Dots to relatively simple red emitting cadmium-core QDs to other
nanoparticles.
In advancing these development activities, the Company follows a
disciplined process to protect its intellectual property and foster
collaborative arrangements. First, NDAs are entered into, followed by
sample agreements. The Company then formulates, manufactures, and
supplies product samples to the counterparty’s specifications for
evaluation and testing. If successful, this then leads to discussions on
the form of a possible commercial relationship. Each step takes time,
and the Company has increased its sample production capacity to
satisfy the backlog of requests for its materials of different
compositions. Sample production is currently accommodated through
use of the automated production equipment at the Company’s Wet Lab.
The Company’s marketing strategy is to engage in joint ventures or
other strategic arrangements with manufacturers, distributors, and
others to jointly develop applications using its patented continuous
production process. Such joint collaborations will involve the Company
working closely with its industry counterparts to optimize the
performance of the Company’s materials in each application or device
and to use the results from product development and testing to further
enhance product specifications. As of October 2015, the Company has
entered a joint development agreement with a major display panel
manufacturer and a funded product development agreement with
leading global optical film manufacturer Nitto Denko.
These collaborations will support the Company’s internal research and
development activities, which will continue to be a primary part of the
Company’s business. The principal revenue streams for the Company
are expected to be from (i) sales of QDs and other nanomaterials,
(ii) royalties from sales of products and components by third parties
incorporating the Company’s products, (iii) milestone payments under
joint development arrangements with product developers and
manufacturers, and (iv) sublicensing fees where the Company engages
in sublicensing arrangements for its technology.
Industry Overview
The Product: Quantum Dots and Other Nanomaterials
QDs were first discovered in the early 1980s, by Alexei Ekimov and
independently by Louis E. Brus. QDs are nanoparticles of a
semiconductor material, typically between 2 and 10 nanometers (a
billionth of a meter) in diameter or mean dimension, small enough for
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM

Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
the particle to exhibit quantum mechanical properties because its
excitons (electrons in a bound state) are confined in all three spatial
dimensions.
QDs emit light (fluorescence) or electrons when excited with energy
such as light or electricity. Emission or absorption wavelength is directly
related to the size of the QD; the smaller the quantum dot, the closer it
is to the blue end of the spectrum, and the larger the quantum dot, the
closer it is to the red end of the spectrum. This allows the excitation and
emission of QDs to be highly tunable. These qualities are driving
demand for QDs as a performance and energy efficiency enhancing next
generation engineered material and have led to the use of QDs in a
range of electronic and other applications including in LED/LCD
televisions and displays (“LCDs”), and solid state lighting (“SSL”) where
the ability to produce a very narrow frequency of light is highly
desirable.
In LCD televisions and displays, for example, before QDs, the “white”
LED backlight light color quality was very poor, containing a lot of blue
light but far less red and green and many frequencies of light inbetween
that are not needed at all. Typical LCDs only use red, green,
and blue light to create an image. This means displays had to waste a lot
of energy on light that gets filtered out in order to generate enough red
and green light for a sufficiently bright display. With QDs, LCDs not only
save energy by producing only the red and green light needed, they also
produce picture with a broader array of more vibrant colors because the
red and green light is much purer.
QDs also have applications in solar cells, where their characteristics
enable conversion of light energy into electricity, with the potential for
significantly higher efficiency than existing technologies. In traditional
solar cells, a photon can only be converted into a fixed amount of
energy per photon, regardless of the photon’s total energy. Excess
energy is converted to heat, which further lowers the efficiency of the
panel. For a traditional solar panel, approximately 33% of the incoming
light is converted to heat (mainly in the high-energy blue part of the
spectrum); about 19% of the light (mainly infrared) is not absorbed; and
unavoidable photon-to-electron conversion losses are at least 15%. This
leaves a theoretical maximum efficiency of about 33% which is also
known as the Shockley—Queisser limit. For silicon-based solar cells, the
maximum conversion efficiency is believed to be around 29% (at peak
solar irradiance).
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM
7
Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
QD-based solar cells have the potential to significantly exceed this
efficiency because QDs are capable of generating multiple electrons per
photon strike rather than converting the extra energy of high energy
photons to heat as in the case of traditional solar cells. QD solar cells
can also convert the infrared portion of the spectrum that is not
absorbed by traditional solar cells. These attributes make the
theoretical maximum efficiency of QD solar cells 66% which is twice that
of traditional solar cells. The Company believes the use of QDs in solar
cells will create the opportunity for a step change in efficiency and
performance in printed photovoltaic cells.
A high performance variant of QDs is tetrapod quantum dots (“TQDs”).
TQDs have a molecular configuration consisting of a center portion and
four arms extending from the center that are equally spaced in three
dimensions. TQDs have material advantages over standard spherical
QDs particularly in solar panel applications where both absorption of
photons and charge transport are enhanced by the legs of the tetrapod,
which effectively serve as trillions of antenna for light. Their unique
architecture and shape also promotes more uniform distances between
the dots, eliminating the problem of aggregation. TQDs are more costly
and difficult to produce in quantity using known methods, with the
exception of the Company’s proprietary chemical process technology
licensed exclusively to it under the Rice Licenses.
How Quantum Dots are Produced
High volume production of QDs is typically accomplished through one of
several methods including:
 Colloidal synthesis: Growth of QDs from precursor compounds
dissolved in solutions, much like traditional chemical processes.
This manual batch process requires careful control of
temperature, mixing and concentration levels of precursor
materials. Precise control must be maintained uniformly
throughout the solution otherwise non-uniform, irregular QDs
are produced. Due to their very small size it is extremely difficult
if not impossible to segregate the QDs by size once they have
been produced and a conglomeration of varied size QDs are not
capable of producing the unique features that are required in
most applications.
 Prefabricated seed growth: QDs are created from chemical
precursors in the presence of a molecular cluster compound
under conditions whereby the integrity of the molecular cluster
is maintained and acts as a prefabricated seed template. This
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM
8
Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
manual batch method can produce reasonable quantities of
QDs, but can take significant capital resources to achieve
significant volume and still results in low yields.
 QMC’s automated continuous process: Unlike the more laborintensive
batch processes described above, the Company uses a
continuous manufacturing process to produce QDs and TQDs.
The patented chemistry can eliminate conventional solvents
and substitutes less expensive solvents that are not toxic,
corrosive or volatile. The Company believes that by using this
method yields are higher and manufacturing costs are lower as
compared to other methods. They also believe that they are
the only company to successfully deploy continuous flow
technology in the large-scale manufacturing of highly uniform
QDs of both Cd-based and Cd-free chemistry.
Raw materials for the commercial production of QD are purchased in
bulk from chemical supply companies. Indium, a component of the
Company’s cadmium-free QD is considered a “rare metal.”
Geographically indium is primarily found in South America, Canada,
Australia, China and the CIS. There is also a mature and efficient indium
recycling process. Management does not believe that a supply
disruption of the indium-containing compounds used in the
manufacturing of the Company’s QDs represents a significant risk;
however no assurances can be given in this regard.
Market for Quantum Dots
A number of recent market research reports have forecasted rapid
growth of the QD market, including “Quantum Dot Market by Product
(Display, Medical Devices, Batteries, Solar Cells, Sensors, and Others),
Material, Application (Healthcare, Consumer, Defense, and Industry),
and Geography - Forecast up to 2020” published by MarketsandMarkets
in January 2015 which states “The quantum dot market is estimated to
reach $4,704.86 million by 2020, at a CAGR of 63.61% from 2014 to
2020.” Also published in January 2015, Touch Display Research forecasts
that “the quantum dot display and lighting component market will
surpass $2 billion by 2016 and reach $10.6 billion by 2025.” Other
recent reports published in 2014 by Transparency Market Research,
Allied Market Research, and BCC Research have come to similar
conclusions regarding the QD market.
While biological imaging is the most established market for QDs, the
biggest growth sectors are forecast to be in displays, solar energy, and
sold-state lighting. Other current and potential applications for QD
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM
9
Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
include batteries, security inks, sensors, lasers, quantum computing,
and paints. QDs remain an extremely expensive commodity, and the
high cost has slowed market growth to this point, although the
Company believes the recent growth of mass manufacturing will quickly
reverse the cost constraints.
Major Market Segments
TVs, Displays, and Other Optoelectronics. This market is comprised
principally of quantum dot LCD displays (“QDLCDs”) for televisions,
computers, cell phones, PDAs and various other applications. In
QDLCDs, QDs are used to downconvert some of the blue light from LED
backlights directly to green and red light allowing for the creation of
more vibrant colors and saving energy as compared to a traditional LCD
TV/display. Unlike OLEDs, which require massive manufacturing capital
expenditures and are extremely expensive to produce, QDs are a dropin
solution for LCDs using existing infrastructure allowing for OLED-like
color performance at significantly lower cost.
LCD TVs make up the vast majority of new TV shipments, and QDLCDs
are forecasted to grow to 135 million units by 2020, “IHS
Quarterly/Technology Q2-2015.” LG, Samsung, AUO, and other OEMs
have recently introduced televisions using QDs to enhance the color
quality and power efficiency. It is believed that QDs may also be used to
improve the performance of other optoelectronic devices, lasers, and
other optical components used in telecommunications.
Lighting. In the lighting market, companies began to commercialize
quantum dot LEDs in 2013 with significant R&D occurring among
manufacturers of solid-state lighting. While companies have launched
quantum dot LED lamps, the market for quantum dot LED lamps and the
other lighting products is still small. The Company believes QD-based
LED lighting will be the best replacement for currently available
compact florescent lighting and LED lighting, as quantum dot technology
provides better efficiency and the ability to tune the light spectrum to
emit light that is the most pleasing and/or appropriate for the
application. According to QMC, LED lighting is expected to dominate the
approximately $100 billion lighting industry over the next five years.
Solar Energy. QDs are capable of producing energy from a broad
spectrum of solar and radiant energy, including the ultraviolet and
infrared frequencies, conventional black silicon solar cells generally do
not convert to electricity. They have conversion potentials of
approximately twice that of conventional solar cells. Applications are
being developed to “print” highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells in
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM
10
Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
mass quantities at low cost. Management believes that quantum dot
solar cells and panels will be the next evolutionary development in the
field of solar energy and that commercialization will begin in 2016.
Management believes that the increased conversion efficiencies will be
realized with the use of TQDs resulting from their unique shape and
further believes their low cost continuous production method and
screen-printing technology will permit Solterra to offer solar electricity
solutions that can compete on a non-subsidized basis with the price of
retail electricity in key markets around the world.
Anti-counterfeiting. Piracy and counterfeiting cost businesses more
than $200 billion annually and account for the loss of more than
750,000 jobs in the US alone. Counterfeit drugs cost the global
pharmaceutical industry approximately $18 billion in lost profits
annually. According to Interpol, as many as one million people die
annually from counterfeit drugs. QDs added to ink can be used to create
unclonable unique “fingerprints” for every package using existing
printing technology, and these “fingerprints” can be quickly verified
with a smart phone and adapter.
Life Sciences. The life sciences industry was one of the early areas of
adoption of quantum dot technology, especially for QDs used in
fluorescent markers in diagnostic applications. This includes both the in
vitro use of QDs for marking (illuminating) particular cell types or
metabolic processes for understanding diseases, and in vivo imaging
made possible by QD fluorescence in near infrared that can be detected
in deep tissues.
The fluorescent qualities of QDs provide an attractive alternative to
traditional organic dyes in bio imaging. It is estimated that QDs are 20
times brighter and 100 times more stable than standard fluorescent
indicators. Applications in the life sciences field are expected to further
increase as quantum dot performance vs. conventional fluorescing
material and organic dyes continues to be proven.

Other applications. QDs have the theoretical potential to enable
batteries to increase charge capacity up to tenfold, reduce re-charge
cycle time in half and double usable life by replacing the current
graphite anodes with silicon QDs. Current and future applications of
QDs may impact a broad range of other industrial markets. These
potentially include computing and memory, improved thermoelectric
components, biohazard detection sensors and other uses.
Current Position
In June 2015, the Company completed an expansion of its lab space at
STAR Park, in San Marcos, Texas. As part of the expansion, the Company
took delivery of its second automated continuous production line which
increased production capacity by nine times from approximately 250kg
per year to approximately 2,250kg per year. The smaller, 250kg per
year, unit will primarily be used for R&D purposes but could be used for
commercial production if needed.
The advantages and benefits of QMC’s automated production are:
 large scale production from one workspace;
 less manpower and time needed for cost savings;
 economies of scale leading to lower costs;
 high production yield with little post-processing;
 improved quality control for higher uniformity; and
 assurance of backup systems for continuous supply.

The commercial nanomaterials industry and more specifically, the
quantum dot industry, is relatively young and undeveloped, with a
number of small competitors attempting to establish themselves in
different segments by employing one or more competitive strategies.
Competition among these companies is based on the following factors:
 Product quality and performance characteristics: Manufacturers
who will incorporate QDs in specific applications will carefully
consider the quality, characteristics and physical properties of the
QDs for efficacy in their targeted applications. This includes the
following factors: the consistency of dots from batch to batch;
resistance to degradation of performance characteristics by heat,
oxygen, and moisture; brightness of emissions; purity of emissions;
effective life spans; volume of dots necessary to produce the
intended result; special characteristics such as dual emission
capabilities; whether or not the QDs contain cadmium or other
heavy metals or other hazardous compounds; the time needed to
expand capacity; and the location of capacity relative to the
manufacturer or ability to locate capacity nearby.
Valuation
Competition
Initiation of Coverage – December 9, 2015 Ticker: QTMM
13
Vista Partners LLC www.vistapglobal.com
 Volume: Before a manufacturer makes the commitment and
dedicates capital and marketing resources to incorporate QDs in its
end product, it must be confident that the volume of QDs it can
obtain from a supplier will be sufficient to meet production needs in
the short term and long term, including substantial growth
following a successful new product launch. The strategies employed
by a quantum dot company to scale production rapidly are critical
to its attracting commercial users for its product, regardless of the
quality of its QDs.
 Price: The price at which QDs can be delivered for incorporation in a
new product will dictate the rate at which new applications can be
developed and supported. High prices have historically restricted
the market for QDs to only the highest value uses such as in the life
sciences, while the potential for lower prices of supply appears to
be opening many new markets.
 Continuing R&D and Product Improvements: Research and industry
relationships are important to ensure a quantum dot company stays
on the leading edge of technological development and
commercialization. R&D is supported by collaboration with
academic institutions or industrial companies, and having a close
relationship with a major industry player provides a young quantum
dot company with access to product development, marketing and
distribution resources. The Company spent $64,460 and $114,980
on research and development in 2015 and 2014 respectively. None
of these costs were borne by customers.
QMC believes it is well positioned in all four areas described above. The
Company believes its QDs, including cadmium/heavy metal-free QDs,
meet or exceed its competitor’s current brightness and purity
specifications, and their QDX™ Quantum Dots significantly exceed any
known competitive product for heat, oxidation and moisture
resistance. They believe that their patented continuous manufacturing
process allows them to produce large volumes at competitive price
points while also giving them the ability to quickly scale up capacity and
locate it anywhere in the world it is needed. Lastly, its continuing
relationships with universities such as Rice, University of Arizona, and
Texas State University, private and public labs such as LANL and its
approach to joint development ventures should enable the Company to
achieve and maintain a leading position in R&D and commercialization
of new products.
The Company is subject to other competitive risks of early stage and
commercial businesses generally, and of advanced technology
businesses in particular, including competing in an environment where

Was für eine Antwort möchtest Du darauf?

ich habe lediglich im Rahmen meiner Ablagebearbeitung den Thread aktuell halten wollen, weil ja VIELLEICHT doch irgendwann nochmal was Interessantes kommen könnte;

sobald sie insolvent gehen und ich das mitkriege, sind sie für mich over-and-out.


Sobald sie tatsächlich sowas wie ein Geschäft haben sollten, gucke ich genauer hin.


Bis dahin schaue ich spätestens alle ca. 1,5 Jahre mal vorbei und poste so was Nichtssagendes.
