Light-altering paint for greenhouses could help lengthen the fruit growing season in the UK

Summary:
New spray developed by scientists could help boost UK farming and increase the UK's food security.

In this paper, we develop an approach based on readily prepared and cheap
Eu3+-containing polyoxotitanium cages (Eu-POTs) which, we show,
possess the necessary design features listed before.
Having established the ground rules for selective modification,
we introduce a working prototype luminophore with high PLQY (>60%)
which is soluble in a range of commercial plastics, including water-based
acrylic paint that can be sprayed onto conventional glass greenhouses
in an agricultural environment.

What you needed to say - and didn't - was that the luminophore absorbs >wavelengths shorter than red, and re-emits the energy at a wavvelength
in the red which is efficiently absorbed by plant chlorophyll.
The article talks about UV light - though there's not a lot of that in >sunlight, and even less in English sunlight - so it's not exactly helpful.

Greenhouses will never grow much of the world's needed food.
But things keep getting better:

More CO2 is part of the reason, which is why people pump CO2 into greenhouses.

My dear fellow, did you not suggest only a short time ago that we both
ignore this OP's off-topic nonsense? Just a little reminder....
